McDonald’s State Championships
The McDonald’s State Championships is the final and most prestigious competition on the Little Athletics Queensland calendar.
Across three exciting days, registered LAQ athletes from all corners of Queensland come together with one goal — to do their best and potentially become a State Champion in their chosen event. The atmosphere is electric, Club pride is on full display, and performances often reach their peak.
The LAQ State team is selected at these Championships for U12 and U13 athletes, with performances playing a significant role in final team selection.
Athletes and families should come prepared for all weather conditions, as competition will only be cancelled in extreme circumstances.
