We are reaching out to seek support for Corey Dickson, a former Wantirna Little Athlete who has been chosen to represent Australia at the upcoming World University Games. This is a significant honour and a testament to Corey\u2019s years of hard work, discipline, and dedication to his sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corey\u2019s journey started right here at Wantirna, where he quickly built a reputation as a determined and talented competitor at Wantirna Little Athletics. His passion for race walking has taken him to national and international stages, and now he has the opportunity to wear the green and gold on one of the world\u2019s biggest university sporting platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this dream comes with a cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
