Dominating Regional and State Tracks

National Triumph and Green and Gold Debut
Taking her talents to the national stage, Ginger's hard work yielded stunning results.

She followed this up in April 2026 at the Australian Championships, capturing two more national titles in the U17 400m and U18 400m Hurdles, alongside a brilliant silver medal in the U18 4x400m relay.
Among these phenomenal results, Ginger highlights her dual national titles at the Australian Championships and pulling on the green and gold for the very first time as her proudest milestones so far.
Stepping Onto the International Stage
Ginger's remarkable year also marked her debut in international competition, representing Australia at the Oceania Athletics Championships. Showing incredible grit, she competed up an age group in the U18 400m Hurdles and proudly returned home with a silver medal.
