(With thanks to AA for the report) The Mixed 4x400m relay team secured the nation's first relay victory in 26 years.
The quartet of Jordan Gilbert (VIC, Michael Gilbert), Bella Pasquali (VIC, Jason Boulton), Jack Deguara (NSW, Katie Smee) and Sophia Gregorevic (VIC, Steve Gaffney) shattered the Australian Under 20 record twice in the one day, clocking the third fastest time in history in 3:19.27 to be crowned world champions.
Jordan gifted the Australians the lead on the opening leg and the team never looked back, claiming victory by a margin of over one second.

From our Club Secretary:
Nuna had several athletes competing at the Australian Track and Field Champs, with lots of medals and PBs recorded. In the Open category, Brooke Buschkuehl won her 6th National Long Jump title with 6.50m and Kyle Swan, who already has a qualifier for the Paris Olympics, picked up the bronze medal in the 10K Walk (39m.10.71s). Liam Kernick had two big PBs, with a bronze in the Ambulant (T37) 200m (25.28s) and a 12.62s in the final of the 100m. Jordan Gilbert nailed another PB in the U20 400m, winning silver with a 47.08 – and Jordan is still only 17 years of age (keep up the driving, Mike). Jake Frost won the bronze in the U18 PV (4.05m – with Cooper Bertram not too far behind) and had a magnificent U17 Decathlon winning the gold medal with 6,593 pts with wins in the decath 400m (51.01), PV (4.10m) and 110m hurdles (14.72s). Jazel Ong kept up the strong PV showing by Nuna athletes with bronze in the U14s (2.45m) and Deija Mendelsohn also medalled in the U14 sprints with silver in the 100m (12.49s) and bronze in the 200m (25.43s). Other Nuna athletes all performed creditably including Max, Elise K, Isabelle, Jaslene, Andrew and Ryan. There could have been more Nuna athletes competing but it was a nightmare trying to scroll through the hundreds of pages of results, so apologies if I missed you out, like

Thanks to Scott Bowden for the report:
Jake Olarenshaw (U17 400m; 800m), Alyssa Chapman (U16 90m hurdles), Max Wright (U15 100m hurdles; 200m hurdles), Syrus Ong (U15 100m hurdles), Shevin Hettiarachchi (U15 800m) and Benjamin Pidgeon (U16 High Jump). We also had lots of medallists, with gold medals being awarded to Maddie Tarabay (U15 javelin – 42.18m and U15 pentathlon – 5,098 points, which would have been enough points to also win the U16 pentathlon), Cooper Bertram (U16 Pole Vault – 3.85m) and Jordan Gilbert, who ran a brilliant anchor leg for the gold medal winning Victorian U18 team in the 4 x 400m. Maddie had further success, with a silver medal in the U15 shotput (12.69m) and bronze in the discus (36.79m). Some other wonderful silver medal performances came from Jordan Gilbert, who destroyed his U18 400m record with a 48.12s and Lachie McGowan in the U17 Hammer with a throw of 51.07m. Jake Frost, after narrowly missing the medals in the U16 200m hurdles (4th – 26.46s), showed that Maddie wasn’t the only multi-event medallist with a bronze in the U16 heptathlon (4,257 points).
