espite being one of the youngest in the open field, Caitlyn Garrett won the 4.5km cross country, 5km roadrace and 1500m at the 21st run at the weekend. She only competed in three events so was not eligible for the overall awards.

“I will be sixteen next year so will probably go in the ten-kilometre race next year,” she said. “Long term, I want to make it to the Olympics.” Miss Garrett's next aim this year is to make the Queensland team for the school nationals in cross country this year. She may be faced with a decision about her main sport in years to come as she has

already finished 7th in her age group in the national triathlon championships in Tasmania. “Triathlon might be my best chances for the Olympics,” she said. The run is her best triathlon leg and the swim, her most challenging. Miss Garrett does her running training under Milcah McKinnon at Middle River Park in Toowoomba and goes to The Glennie School. In

peak season, she trains four sessions a week for cross country and 14 sessions a week for triathlon. As for the Pentathrun, she rates it an excellent event and was competing in Warwick for the third time.
