Our spotlight this week is on Tahlia McGilvray (10 yrs) from Mackay Athletics Club.
Tahlia is an up-and-coming athlete who regularly represents Mackay at carnivals across the state. Her last event was in Townsville a fortnight ago at their Summer Carnival. She is determined to break her own personal bests every time, impressing the coaches and officials.
Tahlia enjoys middle distance running, saying that the 800m is her favourite event.
“I feel really comfortable running. 800m is my favourite event because I’ve taken 8 seconds off my personal best so far this year.”
Tahlia makes her mark in a variety of events and is looking forward to the start of the athletics season which commenced today.
