Coles Spring Carnival

25 September 2021

The Spring Carnival is held each year at the Bundaberg Region Athletics Facility and is open to all U7 – U17 LAQ registered athletes.  The competition provides a means for Centre athletes a chance to gain additional competition towards the end of or leading into the LAQ season and leading into the higher level school competitions.

To foster team spirit, all athletes registered with a LAQ Centre, through their competing, will earn points towards the Competition’s Centre Weighted Points Trophy.

Spring Carnival 100m Handicap Races are also included in the program.  The first placed athletes in the U9 – U17 age groups are offered an opportunity to compete in the Handicap Races, using handicapped starting distances calculated on each competing athlete’s 100m times.

The Summer Carnival aims to give all registered athletes in U7 – U17 age groups the opportunity to take part in a large-scale competition, without any of the pressures associated with a Championship.

Additionally it allows the athletes of the U13 age group to register performances that the State Team Selectors may need to refer to later in the season when selecting the State Team.

To foster team spirit, all athletes registered with a LAQ Centre, through their competing, will earn points towards the Competition’s Centre Weighted Points Trophy.

Summer Carnival 100m Handicap Races are also included in the program.  The first placed athletes in the U9 – U17 age groups are offered an opportunity to compete in the Handicap Races, using handicapped starting distances calculated on each competing athlete’s 100m times.
The main purpose of the day is for athletes of all abilities to have an enjoyable day’s competition and foster new friendships.

Save the date! Gladstone is hosting a Combined Events Carnival.

Offering participation for U7 - U17, the number of combined events per age group is a graduate increase to reduce undue pressure on younger athletes and encourage athlete's development. A strong emphasis is on the participation of children in a wider range of events, rather than the early specialisation in one or two specific events. 

Nominations will be completed via ResultsHq

26 - 27 February 2022

The Combined Event Championships is for U9 – U17’s and offers participation for U7 – U8’s. The number of combined events per age group is a graduated increase to reduce undue pressure on younger athletes and encourage athlete’s development.  A strong emphasis is on the participation of children in a wider range of events, rather than the early specialisation in one or two specific events.

Additionally, the State Team Selectors will refer to the U15 Heptathlon results when selecting athletes for the State Team.
The Combined Event is considered one event; therefore, athletes failing to start or make a trial, in any of the set events of the Combined Event will not be allowed to take part in the remaining events per the LAQ Rules.
