The 10-year-old claimed gold in her shot put event.

"Going to this meet I trained six times a week and knew that I was sitting in second [heading into the championships]," Earl said.

"But I did everything right leading into the weekend and came away with gold a metre ahead of all other competitors."

Abbie Peet, 13, had a huge weekend, too. The multi-class athlete competed in the open age events and medalled twice.
