Athletics

The Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS), in partnership with Australian Athletics and Queensland Athletics, supports Queensland’s best emerging and elite athletes, and their coaches, with expert and individualised performance support and world-class facility and technology access.

QAS-supported athletes have achieved success on the national and international stage, including Olympic bronze medallist Matt Denny (discus), world indoor silver medallist Lachlan Kennedy (60m) and 2025 World Para Championship bronze medallist Nathan Jason (Universal 4 x 100m), reinforcing Queensland’s reputation as one of the country’s leading athletics pathways.
