2024-25 U20 & Open Championships

The 2024/25 Capital Athletics Open & U20s Championships delivered three thrilling days of high-performance athletics at Australia’s fastest track. Australian Records tumbled as Lachie Kennedy broke the Australian 60m record twice, while Para athlete Summer Giddings achieved a potential world record in the T35 long jump.

FAST Running’s up and coming junior stars shone, with standout performances in the 100m, 400m and 800m non-championship events.

Facing stiff competition from interstate athletes, Olivia, Isabel and Tom were among only a few local athletes to stand up against the star studded fields. Isi (Gungahlin Little Athletics) performed very well in her 2025 debut being the fastest ACT athlete in her age in the 100m. Her time was just outside her personal best.

Tom (Woden Athletics) raced both the 400m and 800m. He pulled off a miraculous win in his heat of the 800m with a stunning last 200m surge that caught everyone off guard. His winning time was new PB along with his 400m PB the day before where he finished second overall. Both times are fastest than the current Woden Athletics Club Records which when ratified will be Tom’s first Club Records.

All three of our athletes are eligible to compete in the 2025 Capital Athletics Underage Championships U9-U18 from 21 February 2025. They will be joined by a number of FAST’s best up and coming athletes.
