Great to have a few of the squad run on the new track here in Canberra.

Track is fast and there will be many PB’s throughout the summer I am sure.

QBN Gift squad events and notes

We have a strong squad tradition at the Queanbeyan Gift and with 15 athletes competing I am sure we will have a fabulous couple of days.

Good luck to everyone competing.
