Jordan Gilbert (17yo, Athletics Nunawading VIC) has been selected to represent Australia at the 2024 World Athletics U20 Championship in Peru (August 27-31).

Jordan has participated in Athletics since age 5, collecting State and National titles along the way. Specialising in the 400m, Jordan placed second at the 2024 national championships, securing his spot on the team to Peru. Balancing a busy schedule of running and strength training sessions, as well as completing year 12, leaves Jordan with little free time. He is extremely dedicated to achieving his goals in the sport.

Jordan is attempting to raise money to fulfil a lifelong goal of competing at the world junior championships and representing Australia in the green and gold. The levies for this trip are $6000, including training camps, flights, accommodation and uniform expenses for the competition.

In the extremely generous event that this goal is exceeded, any additional funds will be used to contribute to Jordan's future athletics costs, such as shoes and other training equipment, and participation in national and international competitions. His goals include representing Australia in future World Championships and Olympic teams.

Thank you to all who support Jordan in his athletics dream of representing Australia with any amount of support going a long way no matter how small. If you are unable to contribute it would be equally appreciated if you could forward this link on to others who may be able to help.
