Bella Ferfoglia: 10 awesome years with Little Athletics!

At our Presentation Day back in April it was our pleasure to present Bella Ferfoglia her Ten Year Athlete Service award. Bella joined Eastlakes Little Athletics in U7s back in 2009 and she made her presence known right away. Entering the zone championships that year Bella won gold in both the U7 girls shot put and discus events. In her ten years with Eastlakes she has remained undefeated at Zone and Regionals in both events and broken many club records as she journeyed through each age.

Bella has added to her successes over the years at Zone and Regionals with a State Championship medal tally across the years 2011-2019 of 12 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze. She was selected as a member of the NSW State team in 2015 and won silver in shot put and bronze in discus at the Australian Little Athletics Championships. In 2017 she was invited to the National Little Athletics U15 Camp at the AIS.

Bella’s proudest achievement was coming back from serious injury in 2014 and winning gold at State in U12 girl’s discus and shot put.

Even with all her successes still nothing beats a PB. Bella, keep chasing those PBs and throwing those big throws!
