Although she didn't place in the u17s 400m race or the u18s 4x400m relay, she said she had a great time.

"It was a terrific experience and the weather was great for my races," Jessica said.

"I was pretty happy going into the races, but it was always going to be difficult for me.

"Due to COVID, I haven't had the best preparation.

"I had nationals lined up for cross country at the end of last year and it was cancelled.

"I was also looking forward to the relay but unfortunately, we weren't able to run due to some technical issues."

Her biggest goals are to take part in the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics, but for now, she is focused on more short term goals.

"I'm hoping to place at the Nationals and to start focusing on the 400m and 800m races as my targeted distance."

The Goulburn-Mulwaree Athletics Club hopes that their efforts inspire all its young athletes to continue becoming their best as well.
