LITTLE ATHLETICS

“It was a really tough competition,” said Buckle, “and just to make it onto the podium was really good.”

Buckle has previously thrown a personal best of 46.11m.

She said there had been a lot of preparation and travel involved in ensuring she was ready for the event.

“I do lots of training at home, and I also go to Perth a lot because that’s where my coach lives,” she said. “I throw twice a week and go to the gym once or twice a week, and then a sprinting session probably four-to-five times a week, and competitions on the weekends.”

Buckle said that while she had previously competed in a number of different events, this year she started training only for the javelin.

She said she’d probably take a bit of a break following the event and may then take to the football field for the Collie Eagles.
