Mason Watkins

ATHLETICS

Masons' main sport is Athletics, specialising in Triple Jump. He performs well in all three jumps – triple, long and high. He also enjoys sprints and middle-distance running. Mason is also very passionate about Aussie Rules football, currently playing in the U16’s competition for Railways Football Club in Albany. He is a member of Albany Little Athletics Club, Albany Athletics Club and the Western Australian Athletics State Team.

Mason's greatest achievement is medaling at Athletics State Championships and qualifying for Australian Athletics National Championships twice so far. Mason's highlights are breaking the Albany Little Athletics Club record for U16’s with a jump of 12.42 metres a week out from State championships plus qualifying to compete in both Adelaide for the Australian Athletics National Championships (past – April) and for Kuala Lumpur for the International Little Athletics Championships (upcoming – July) where he will be competing in all three jump events to represent WA.

Right now his focus is on the next goal of progressing to jumping from a 9 metre mat to jumping from an 11 metre mat along with working really hard to be able to medal in Kuala Lumpur and the next Australian Nationals Championships.
