The Region 8 Littles State Qualifying Meet for U9 to U12 athletes is being held at the Sylvania Waters Athletics Track, Sylvania, on the Friday the 5th and Saturday the 6th of February 2021. Nominations for the event were open to our U9 to U12 athletes at the end of the last year and were submitted by ESLAC to Little Athletics NSW. The team has now been announced and of the 70 ESLAC athletes who nominated for 202 events 68, athletes have been accepted to compete in 193 events. All events were capped at 24 participants due to Covid-19 restrictions so our sympathies go out to the athletes who missed out and to those that do not get to compete in all the events in which they had hoped to represent ESLAC.
