There is always a new event coming up that you need to know about so we've set up a year round calendar of events for you to easily navigate your way around.
From senior athletes to junior up and coming stars. You'll soon discover there's a lot more to our athletes than their skills on the field.
As young as WA Athletics is we have quickly amassed a comprehensive selection of events over these years.
Thanks to the generosity of some great photographers we've been able to document some of the great events that WA Athletics have been involved in over the years. If you'd like more information about any of these photos, drop us a line or send us an email and we'll put you in touch with the photographer.Hooker bounces back to form
After a European summer of frustration to the point of exasperation, reigning World and Olympic pole vault champion Steve Hooker bounced back to his absolute best with an outstanding victory at the Continental Cup in Split, Croatia, overnight.
Competing for the Asia-Pacific squad in one of his final events before next month's Commonwealth Games Hooker put a series of no-heights and poor performances behind him with a stunning third attempt clearance at 5.95m to beat Diamond League winner, Frenchman, Renaud Lavillenie.

2010 Mullewa Gift Results
The 2010 Mullewa Gift was claimed by 20-year-old Dylan Panizza. After running second in heat two, Panizza ran in the Green silks from the 12.25m mark in the final and produced a blistering run to win from Brittany Pettitt and Glenn Ross. It was a superb effort from Pettitt given she is better known for her high jumping ability.
Panizza claimed the double with victory in an extremely tight 70m Final. Panizza got up in a photo ahead of Unasa Cole, with Pettitt again running third.
In the 120m Novice Final beach sprinter Samantha Plato claimed victory ahead of Aldis Jaunzems and Matthew Seaman.
In the 550m, former 120m Mullewa Gift winner and National Silver medallist over 400m hurdles, Dane Richter was too good winning from Ben Clark and Marie Decker.
