Classy field taking part

OLYMPIAN Julian Wruck, a discus thrower from the Gold Coast Victory club, will compete this weekend, as will Glasgow Commonwealth Games 400m relay representative Alex Beck.

Gold Coaster Cassidhe Simmons is yet to make a major senior international Games team but hopes she is able to push her injuryracked body to the limit over the weekend in a bid to claim a place in the heptathlon.

Several Gold Coast surf life savers will swap the sand for tarmac in a bid to claim their own piece of Games history.

Several members of Brett Robinson’s crack sprint squad – most of whom compete for Currumbin in surf lifesaving events – will compete over the weekend, including Stawell Gift winners Mitchell Williams and Murray Goodwin and New Zealand representative Olivia Eaton.
