Members of Forrest Beach Surf Life Saving Club have returned home with medals and personal bests after an outstanding performance at the State Youth Championships, capping off a huge few days of competition for the club and the wider North Barrier Branch.
Competing in their final State Youth Championships, the club’s Under-15 athletes delivered impressive results on the sand. Antwoine secured a bronze medal in the Under-15 Male Beach Sprint, while teammate Lane from Sarina claimed gold in the same event. Stephen narrowly missed the podium, finishing fourth in a fiercely contested Beach Flags final and recording a personal best in the process.
The Under-15 success continued in the Beach Relay, with Antwoine and Stephen teaming up with Lane and Cooper (Sarina) to claim gold, dominating the field in a standout performance.
Strong results were also recorded in the Under-14 division, with Jahmarley showing determination and speed to reach the semi-finals of the beach sprint, adding to the club’s strong showing across age groups.
Off the sand, the North Barrier Branch March Past team once again impressed, securing silver under the guidance of Coach Lenny. Achieving such a high-quality performance with minimal training was a credit to both the coach and the dedication of the athletes, who represented multiple clubs across the branch.
Forrest Beach SLSC congratulated all competitors on a successful championships campaign, praising the spirit of teamwork and the way branch clubs came together to showcase the strength and talent of the north.
“It’s always fantastic to see our athletes supporting each other and representing our region with pride,” the club said.
The results highlight a bright future for the young lifesavers as they continue to develop their skills and represent their communities at the highest levels of competition.
