National Carnivals
To explain, NSW athletes in the U13 and U15 age groups may be selected by the LAANSW from those competing at the State Track & Field Championships each March to compete at the National Australian Teams Championships. Only 22 U13s (11 boys and 11 girls) are chosen to represent the NSW State team. Each state association also selects only four U15s (two boys and two girls) to compete at the simultaneous National Australian Multi-Event Championships (i.e. the two are held together) on the April weekend closest to Anzac Day. To be selected for either is a real honour!
The Trans Tasman Challenge is an Under 11 and Under 12 multi event competition between a NSW team and a team from Auckland, New Zealand. The competition is held each January and alternates each year between Sydney and Auckland. In 2009, it was at Homebush on January 18, 2009. Australian trials are held the first Sunday each November.
