Meet the 45 athletes selected for team Victoria at the Australian Little Athletics Championships

Victoria will be determined to take out the team award at the Australian Little Athletics Championships and they have assembled a team they know can do it. Meet the 45 athletes flying the Big V flag.

Victoria will be bringing a small army with them as they aim to be crowned the best state on the track and in the field at the Australian Little Athletics Championships.

The Big V have selected 45 athletes to fly the flag for the state at the national championships which will be held in Adelaide over Anzac weekend on April 27-28.

For the second-straight year, the championships will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV across all of News Corp Australia’s mastheads. Click here to find out more.

Athletes of Victoria pose during the closing ceremony of the Australian Little Athletics Championships at Lakeside Stadium in Albert Park, Victoria on April 23, 2023.

Victoria last year finished second overall, behind rivals New South Wales, and claimed the Alan Triscott Trophy as the best team with the overall highest Australian Teams Championship points as well as pre-determined points in the same championship.

The team consists of track and field stars in the state from under-13 up to under-15.
