Jessica's outstanding performance qualified the teenager for the regional titles to be held at Blacktown International Sportspark on February 18-19.

The event brings together several hundred track and field competitors from Little Athletics clubs.

Jessica is one of 25 Western Blues Little Athletics Club members who will compete at Rooty Hill.

"That's a great achievement from our club," Western Blues Little Athletics Club president Tracey Liondas said.

"The regional titles are for athletes aged between eight and 17.

"We had 35 athletes from our club compete at zone titles."

Western Blues long jumper Kayde Richards broke the zone record in the boys under 8s event.

"I will be there doing my best," she said.
