Eighteen Little Athletics members from Oberon are set to compete in the Regional Championships in Dubbo this weekend.

The athletes were part of a group of 22 who competed in the Little Athletics NSW Zone Championship late last year in Lithgow.

Committee members from the Oberon Little Athletics club congratulated all athletes on their efforts  so far and wished them the best of luck for this weekend’s championship.

Members said that to have so many athletes progress to the next level of competition was an outstanding effort, considering the small population size of Oberon.

They also praised the efforts of parents, fellow committee members and athletes for their hard work, dedication and training.

Committee members also thanked Oberon Council for its efforts in maintaining the grounds, and also sponsors for their financial support at recent carnivals..
