Win the best of athletics for your school

World 400m champion Jeremy Wariner will join a host of international and Australian stars including Jamaica’s 100m world record holder Asafa Powell, Craig Mottram, Steve Hooker, Josh Ross and Sally McLellan as they begin their Beijing campaign in Australia.

Be in the running to win a night at a world-class athletics meet in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane and a sprints clinic with a high-profile athlete and coach at your school.

Write, draw, send photos or video of your school enjoying athletics. Tell us about your school’s superstars who might go on to compete at major athletics competitions in Australia or overseas, great coaches or teachers, or the bits you like the best.

Be creative! The best entries will be displayed on athletics.com.au.
