2015 Samuel Stanford - Runner of Excellence

Samuel Stanford of Year 10 St Columba’s Catholic College recently competed at the under 14’s Australian Junior Athletics Championships men’s age group and won gold in the 100m, 200m and 4 x 100m relay. The Australian Junior Athletics Championships is run by Athletics Australia, so Samuel competed against the best in the country. Samuel competed last year winning gold in the 100 and 200m events at the NSW All Schools Track and Field Championships but because of his age was not eligible to compete at the Australian All Schools Championships (you had to be at least 13 years of age – Sam was only 12 at the time).
