The Australian All Schools Track and Field Championships will be held on December 9.

Just more than a week out from the championships, we shed a light on the Queenslanders set to light up the track and field.

Toby Stolberg/St Peters Lutheran College athletes

Would you believe St Peters Lutheran College has qualified the most athletes (15) for the All Schools Nationals track and field championships in Adelaide?

High jumperToby Stolbergwill be leading the charge after the 16-year-old finished eighth at the World Junior Championships earlier in the year.

So who are the others?

Jazelle Carteris an impressive 400m athlete and Gabrielle Schmidt has been a standard setter year in and year out in her age group as she churns her way around the 1500m and 3000m distances.

Zoe Chester, who was in the national under-18 team for triple jump,was one of four Australian representatives in either track or field from St Peters this season.

The others were Kayla Newberry(Australian under-18 Team, heptathlon), Tayden Tomich (Australian Development Team for 100m Hurdles) and Torrie Lewis (100m, 200m).

Lewis, who recorded a personal best in the 100m of 11.33 seconds, was not available for the All Schools after sustaining a hamstring injury.

GPS track and field champions Ipswich Grammar School will supply nine athletes to the national All Schools, including under-16 100m sprint sensation Gout Gout, who now holds a personal best of 11.67 seconds after slicing a margin off his previous best in recent weeks.

He is the new Australian under-16 and Queensland All Schools record holder in the 100m and is also a 200m runner.

His powerhouse sprint efforts got the ground buzzing and his name was on everyone’s lips at this year’s event.

Lachlan Buckman/Joe Volker (Ipswich Grammar School)

Lachlan Buckman (under-17 javelin) and Joe Volker (under-16 long jump and triple jump) were also a part of the Ipswich Grammar GPS championship-winning squad.

Buckman knows his way to the podium when it comes to national meets, after all he is a four time-Australian champion who throws around 66m and also represented Australia at the under-19 Oceania Championships in Mackay.

Volker is coming off success in the under-15 long jump at the Australian Track and Field Championships (6.73m) and was a winner at the GPS championship.

Thomas Purcell (Ipswich Grammar School)

Purcell is an under-14 90m hurdles All Schools champion, who will have Ipswich Grammar teammates Harrison Purcell (under-16 100m and 200m hurdles), Simeon Anstey (under-14 400m), James Grey (under-15 100m), Dakota Stewart (under-15 200m steeplechase) and Jonathan Kasiano (under-15 shot put) alongside of him at the nationals.

Charlize Goody (Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School)

Charlize Goody.
Charlize Goody.

They don’t come more talented than Goody, an all-rounder of the highest quality and budding heptathlete.

Not only has she qualified for four field events at the All Schools Nationals but she was also a serious contender to qualify for the team as a 100m hurdler after placing third at the Queensland All Schools.

The Year 11 Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School student competed in five events at the Queensland Athletics Championships and came away with five medals.

She was awarded first in javelin, discus and shot put, second in hammer throw and third in 100m hurdles.

She will travel to Adelaide this month to compete in the four throw events after earlier in the year competing in the Pacific Mini Games in Saipan, coming first in the discus.

She also competed in the Australian North Queensland Championships, where she scored nine medals, including three gold, five silver and a bronze, setting a new north Queensland record in the under-18 shot put.

She also broke the Met West record for javelin this year.

At IGGS’ recent Speech Night and Sport Awards Presentation, Goody was named Age Champion for 16 Years Athletics, Age Champion for 16 Years swimming, and received the Amy Chalmers Memorial Prize for Athletics and the Sylvia Dixon Prize for all round Proficiency in Sport.

On top of this, she received Academic Honours and is in the top five in Year 11.

Though she is in Year 11, Goody was the IGGS Athletics captain this year, a role usually held by a Year 12 student.

Two of eight athletes produced to the track and field school nationals by Nudgee, Wain claimed a GPS record win in a blazing 1500m time in 4 minutes and 16.69 seconds in October, while Grimshaw exploded in the 200m (14 years) to win in a senior GPS record time of 22.06 seconds.

Nudgee finished second to Ipswich Grammar School at the GPS track and field championship by just five points, so it is little surprise Nudgee has supplied so many athletes to the Queensland team.

Those athletes include Wain (under-13 800m/1500m), Roman Jones(under-13 shot put/javelin), Grimshaw(under-14 100m/200m), Sean Putra-Susilo (under-14 100m hurdles), Nixon Pasese(under-15 shot put),James Swao (under-17 100m/200m), Alex Romano (under-17 400m) and Callum Beane(under-17 400m hurdles).

Does anyone really not rate Ashley Wong among the top school athletes in Queensland?

Back in training, he won the 200m at the GPS, and would have won the 100m (10.51 seconds) in a GPS record had Churchie’s Rory Easton (10.45 seconds) not produced his stunning final burst.

Wong also has a 200m personal best of 21.17 seconds and won gold in the 18-19 years All Schools Championships.

Leilani Hills/Georgie Gilroy/Zara Moore (Brisbane State High School)

Brisbane State High School’s Leilani Hills is one of the top athletes in the state.

An elite touch footballer as well as potential NRLW and rugby sevens player, Hills is arguably the best in Australia for her age in the 100m hurdles and came second place in the 400m hurdles at nationals this year.

A high-class State High contingent representing Queensland will includeGeorgie Gilroy, whose battles with St Peters’ Gabby Schmidt over the 1500m and 3000m distance have been legendary.

Gilroy has a big few months coming up, she is also excited about the prospect of representing Australia in the under-20 World Cross Country Championships in Bathurst in February – this will be the first time this major event has been held in the country.

Brisbane State High School student Georgie Gilroy, a past student of Brookfield State School, will represent Queensland.

Watch out for Zara Moorewhose pedigree in middle distance is unmatched.

Moore’s mother, Lizel, was a Sydney 2000 Olympian (triathlon) while her sisters Nikita and Kiera were elite junior runners, with Keira an Australian World Cross Country Championship representative.

Also watch for Riley-Jay Henry-Purcell, the State High athlete who won the 14 years shot put and discus events at the state All Schools, sealing her name in the record books with her discus throw of 46.07m.

State High also has a 3000m representative in Gwen Watson.

Sirray Su’emai (Marsden SHS)

They don’t come more talented than Su’emai, an all-rounder of the highest quality in the field, and will represent in hammer throw at the All Schools.

She comes from good stock, her older sister Lyvante was a World Junior under-20 select.

Seth Mahony and Alex Champion (Brisbane Boys College)

Mahony warmed up for the nationals with dominant middle distance wins in the high standard GPS track and field championships, while Champion is a state high jump champion.

The boys’ teammates from BBC in the Queensland team include Luke Sahlqvist, Lachlan Rayner and hurdles young gun Rhys Evans, the 16 years state champion.

There would not be too many better all rounders in the Queensland team than Gold Coast boy Symonds.

Not only is he contracted to the Brisbane Broncos, he is a weightlifting champion and a field ace when it comes to shot put and hammer throw.

Rory Easton/Jack Love/Lachlan Cornelius (Churchie)

Blink and you might miss Churchie’s Rory Easton at the All Schools.

Easton’s 100m dash in GPS record time (10.46 seconds) was a personal best and sets him up for the All Schools.

The Churchie track and field captain zoomed past his previous best of 10.49 seconds he had set just days earlier at the Queensland All Schools – a time which was down from his previous best of 10.82 seconds.

Easton attributed his improvement to his strength coach Mepi Faoagali and his track coach Rajeev Balakrishnancand overall consistency.

Middle distance man Jack Love is another star and so is Lachlan Cornelius.

Love won the under-17 Australian Championship for 400m hurdles last April and more recently claimed the Queensland All Schools 16 Years 400 hurdles state championship.

Cornelius won the State 18-19 Years 800m on the weekend and finished second in the 1500m.

He is also an under-20 800m and 1500m national finalist and Oscar Cornelius is also a 3000m under-20 steeplechase exponent of note.

Marissa Hanlon (Brigidine College)

The Brigidine College product is a fixture in Queensland teams and it is little wonder given her deeds over the years.

She made the current side for her second place finish in the 16 years 200m, she is a previous 400m national champion and a 200m national runner up and is the younger sister of Monique.

Jemma Keefe (Brigidine College)

The remarkable Mt Alvernia student Jemma Keefe would have to be one of the most consistent across multiple events in Queensland, who could be a heptathlete.

She has been a fixture at national track and field meets for years, across a variety of sports, and she makes this Queensland team as field athlete (javelin and discus).

Dekota Barron (Park Ridge SHS)

Barron is well known in Australian football circles where the teenager is an All Australian under-15 select and a Suns Academy AFL member.

But the tall, athletic ruck is also an elite discus and javelin thrower, who will represent Queensland’s All Schools side.

Ella Rodwell and Brinna Leung (Somerville House)

Ella Rodwell will need a few good nights of sleep in a row leading up to the All Schools nationals, such will be her workload at the championship.

Rodwell will compete in the 18 years 1500m, 3000m and 2000m after a booming 2022 saw her realising her potential.

Her road to Adelaide included winning at both the QGSSSA and the Queensland State Cross Country this year, as well as picking up a silver medal in the National Cross Country Championship.

Rodwell will be joined at the nationals by Brianna Leung, the Somerville House track and field captain, who had an action-packed All Schools state championships when she won the 17 years long jump and high jump.

She was also a member of the winning 4x100m relay for Met East.

Lee Martin (Marist College Ashgrove)

It will be a case of like father, like son when Marist College Ashgrove’s Lee Martin represents Queensland in the under-17 shot put and javelin.

His father Robbie was such an explosive runner that his Marist College hurdles record still stands.

Accompanying Martin in the Queensland All Schools squad bound for Adelaide will be fellow Marist athletes Zac Milligan (under-15 3000m), Joel Drew (under-17 hurdles and 400m) and Asher Parkin(under-16 3000m).

Rhani and Zara Hagan/Aurelia and Amelie Boyd (St Aidan’s)

Queensland is spoiled for sprint talent and leading the pack were two lots of sisters from St Aidan’s Anglican Girls School – Aurelia and Amelie Boyd in the 13 years and Zara and

Rhani Hagan (15 and 16 years).

These athletes sparkled in the 100m and 200m sprints at the All Schools in their age groups. Zara Hagan was first in the 100m in a time of 11.90 seconds and first in the 200m with a time of 24.49 seconds.

Rhani Hagan won her 100m sprint in the 16 years, in September Zara also clocked a QGSSSA record 11.81 seconds for the 100m.

Zoe McElwaine/Chiamaka Ekeocha (Brisbane Girls’ Grammar School)

Zoe McElwaine’s confidence will be sky-high after a scintillating 3km event in the Queensland All Schools 14 years, which qualified her for the nationals.

At the states she bravely took off on her own and did a lot of the work solo, breaking the state record previously held by St Margaret’s Isabella Harte with her new mark at 10 minutes and 3.16 seconds.

Fellow BGGS teammate Chiamaka Ekeocha was lightning quick at the Queensland All Schools with a 16 years hurdles time of 14.53 seconds.

Britney Ingr

Ingr missed Queensland All Schools selection due to her unavailability when she was competing at the Life Saving World Championships.

But she is a brilliant sprinter who would have done Queensland proud at the Australian All Schools Track and Field Championships.
