NSW Athletics Champions
However, the 1926 NSW Championships are regarded as the first official championships. Early pioneers - such as Edie Robinson and Clarice Kennedy were followed by world champions such as Marjorie Jackson, Marlene Mathews and Betty Cuthbert. Michele Mason, Maureen Caird, Jenny Lamy, Lyn Jacenko, Kerry Saxby-Junna and Melinda Gainsford-Taylor are other NSW athletes to achieve success at world level. Current Australian stars from New South Wales include Kerryn McCann, Jane Saville and Bronwyn Eagles. NEW SOUTH WALES CHAMPIONSHIPS
