Ginninderra Athletics report from ACT U20 Championships

She was also 4th and first ACT in the U20 800m.
Ryan Knight, 6th overall, won the ACT gold medal in the U20 100m. Tobi Drummond Templeton was fastest qualifier but unfortunately broke the start in the final. These were outstanding results by Ryan and Tobi. There were 34 athletes in total in the heats.
