They are two of more than 500 athletes expected to compete for both individual medals and team trophies.

The event will be held at SA Athletics Stadium in Adelaide, and encompasses the age groups under 13, 14 and 15.
Both Foster and Hill will compete in numerous events after Foster won the 100m and 200m and Hill was third in the 400m at the state championships in Melbourne in March.
Foster will compete in the under 15 girls' 100m, 200m, medley relay and 4x100 relay, while Hill will compete in the under 13 boys' 400m and medley relay.
Both athletes are fresh off competing in the Stawell Gift carnival, where Foster contested the Little Athletics 100m, VAL under 18s, making the semi-finals, and ran her first open women's gift, finishing fourth in her heat.
Hill competed in the Little Athletics 400m and 800m, reaching the final of the 800m.
