Earl said she trained closely with her family in the lead up to the event.
"I enjoy training with my parents and brother about four days per week, but I have never done it in wet weather before this Sydney trip," she said.
"I was a little bit scared it would be too slippery, but once on the field it was OK and I had a good time.
"I can't wait until next year when I'm old enough to compete at the national championships."
The Year 3 student will now turn her attention to regional and zone athletics competitions, where she has previously claimed gold medals in both shot-put and discus.
