Day 3 of Nationals has come to a close. Our Tigers have already consistently demonstrated a high caliber of resolve, and sheer willpower, and today was no exception. The temperature may have been cool, but some of the results were scorching in stark contrast.

Kajsa Shield made her return to the stadium today, and true to form launched another object into the sky during the U16 girls Discus. Those poor birds, and let's not even get started on the danger to low hanging planes. That's the flip side of objects seamlessly, and perfectly soaring through the air. Kajsa threw a distance of 40.32m to win the silver medal once again. Bravo Kajsa. Proudly drape those two silvers over your neck.

Meanwhile Mikayla Hand also returned to the Athletics Stadium, this time competing in the U16 Triple Jump, jumping a cracking distance of 11.18m. Let's give Mikayla a "hand" ladies and gentlemen, in congratulating her on a solid performance this season, in two events which require precise calculation.

Mikayla in all her glory.

Perhaps the most highly anticipated event of the day was the U16 boys 4X200 relay. Rumour is, perspiration was forming on the beads of many foreheads in anticipation of this event. QUT Tiger -Ashley Wong, the man, the myth, the legend, now onto his third pair of spikes this championship, much to his mother's horror and chagrin, took this challenge in his "stride." Expectations were high, but so was he, riding a wave of endorphins from his previous events.

Time appeared to stop as Ashley Wong took off so powerfully, and gracefully, amidst of a cacophony of cheers and screams from his adoring fans. He passed on the baton to Ethan Avery, the second leg runner, in a manner that screamed professionalism, camaraderie and respect to everything the sport stands for. Bravo Ash and the QLD relay team for running a time of 1 minute, 29.67 seconds. Another gold for Ash to add to his overflowing medallion cabinet. Yehhaww.

Ashley Wong, third from the left, smiling as he realised this picture will be displayed in so many textbooks as the example of "Self-Actualisation" for years.

Day 3 has come to a close, as we near the middle of the week. Who knows what more surprises lie in store, ready to strike like a well poised Tiger. Guess we'll find out.

Been a pleasure reporting once again.

Yours truly,
Daniel Jebb.

I am a huge fan of these ladies and to watch their victory is such a great pleasure for me because there are dreams that came true and with those efforts and hard-work we know that we will achieve that pot of gold that we want. We can never go wrong if we just keep on looking to that goal and never stop no matter how hard the road is. These ladies are heroes and that is a lesson for all of us.

Again if we are not very careful, we will keep getting lied too. People will always show their best foot forward when they want something from us. Once they get what they wanted, they will be very quick to leave and it's going to be faster than we can even notice it. We all need to be kinder to ourselves once in a while. No one ever taught us to be kind and helpful. It's our nature and we can do it effortlessly. But to love our self, oh dear I wish there's like a school for this. It takes years of practice before we can finally learn a trick or two.
