COOMA talent Blake Davis will take on the nation's best junior athletes when he competes in the Australian Little Athletics Championships.

Blake is headed for Adelaide this week as part of the ACT team. He was selected following an excellent showing at the ACT Championships and is looking forward to representing Cooma on the national stage.

Blake is competing in the under 13 age group and is just one of eight athletes selected for the under 13 boy's ACT team.

The promising junior athlete has a busy schedule coming up across the weekend's competition. Blake will compete in the 200m hurdles, 80m hurdles, javelin and 1500m.

"We are very proud of Blake's achievements. Blake's hard work and commitment has paid off," Cooma Athletics Club secretary Katrina Payne said.
