Cameron Moss (pictured) took out the men’s Gift while Bella Pasquali won the women’s Gift just a few months before winning bronze for Australia at the World Indoor Championships in China. Meanwhile in the 120m sprints Clare De Salis took out the women’s while in the men’s sprint Lancefield place getters, Jasper Thomas 1st and Dash Muir 3rd, made up 1/3rd of the field in the Stawell Gift final.
