Junior Sports Star - Kayla Wilson shows her staying power
The Macarthur Chronicle kept the 10-year-old, of Appin, still for long enough last week to snap a few photographs after her father Andrew nominated her for the Junior Sports Star.
Mr Wilson’s nomination listed the little athlete’s recent achievements, which covered a gamut of sports, including cross country, swimming, athletics, touch football and soccer.
Despite Kayla’s size, endurance seems to be her thing.
Every year since 2008 she has represented the Campbelltown zone and sydney southwest in cross country. Last year she progressed to the NSW PSSA cross country championships.
She’s also been a member of Ambarvale Little Athletics Club since 2006 and has been the age champion every year, apart from 2007 when she was second.
She’s a long-time zone and regional representative.
Kayla also represented Ambarvale Little Athletics in its state mixed relay team from 2007-2009.
Off the athletic track, the Appin Public School student still keeps busy. She has been a member of Appin United Soccer Club since 2008 and also enjoys touch. She was a member of the successful Wollongong junior touch team last year and was selected to represent the association’s under-10 girls team at the 2010 State Junior Cup.
