🌟 Athlete Spotlight – Victoria’s Journey 🌟
Every athlete starts somewhere…
At the beginning of the 2025/2026 season, Victoria attended our Come & Try Night as a brand-new Little Athletics member. After experiencing the welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere at McEvoy Oval, she and her family decided to sign up, make new friends and give athletics a go.
As the season progressed, Victoria’s dad volunteered as an Age Manager. Hearing other families talk about weekend carnivals sparked their interest, so in November 2025 they decided to give one a try.
Competing on a synthetic athletics track for the first time was exciting, inspiring and lots of fun. They also realised there was so much to learn—and that’s where the journey really began.
Victoria started attending our coaching sessions with Coach Kev, where she worked hard to improve her technique, race strategies and confidence. Week after week, her determination to learn and willingness to listen to her coaches helped her grow into a stronger athlete.
The results have been incredible.
✨ Since joining WWPLAC, Victoria has:
🏅 Achieved numerous Personal Bests
🏃♀️ Enjoyed success at her school athletics carnival
🥇 Been crowned her school’s Age Champion
🌟 Qualified through the Central Coast Zone Championships and progressed to the Region Championships in the 1500m
🏃♀️ Recently finished an outstanding 11th place in the 2km event at the 2026 NSW CCC & CPS Cross Country Championships—an incredible achievement against some of the state’s best young runners!
Victoria’s story shows that you don’t have to be the fastest or most experienced athlete to succeed. All it takes is the courage to have a go, the willingness to learn, and the commitment to keep improving.
