Together we can get this done!

Jackson Taylor, Local State Labor Member, has called on the State Government to support upgrades to our much beloved and well utilised Knox Athletics Track. But needs our help

Jackson will be at training tonight from 4.45pm to talk with and seek your views on the track and what can be done to further improve the facility.

We would love to see as many Knox Little Athletes and Knox Senior Athletes in their club tops attending and supporting the call for further funding to upgrade our facility.

Jackson has also set up a petition to fight for funding from the State Government to support the future amenities and track upgrade to the Knox Athletics Precinct. The petition can be signed by going to Jackson Taylor’s website.

We are excited to announce that Cross Country is back.
