Rising sprint star Torrie Lewis and global gold medallist Isaac Beacroft are among the 68 athletes on Australia’s team for the World Athletics U20 Championships Lima 24, taking place between 27-31 August.

Lewis is the national 100m record-holder who won the 200m at the Diamond League meeting in Xiamen, while Beacroft set an Oceanian U20 record on his way to the U20 men’s 10km race walk title at the World Athletics Race Walking Team Championships Antalya 24.


Featuring 35 women and 33 men, the team for Peru also includes Olympic Games-bound middle-distance runner Claudia Hollingsworth, who is one of eight athletes returning to the global U20 stage following their participation in the 2022 World U20 Championships in Cali, Colombia. Triple jumper Tiana Boras also returns after clinching Australia’s first ever major championships medal in the event with bronze in Cali.


They are joined by athletes including sprinters Sebastian Sultana and Gout Gout, and the versatile Izobelle Louison-Roe, who will contest the high jump and triple jump.


With seven Australian U20 record-holders in individual events with 12 records between them, plus the men’s and women’s 4x100m squads who have already inked the record books in 2024, the team stakes its claim as one of the strongest in Australian history.
