• Little Athletics in Australia has been suspended due Covid 19. See here.
• This article needs significant updating (there are many years missing, and records are incomplete, and the events table needs to be modified to reflect the events table given here (Coles National Challenge).
• Research into other sources will be needed as https://littleathletics.com.au/ is not comprehensively maintained nor updated. It has non functioning internal links.
• Article placed on hold for editing and corrections. Seven days. --Whiteguru (talk) 07:29, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
