Eureka Public School is celebrating a standout achievement after four of its students claimed the Nigel Bagley relay title at the NSW PSSA State Athletic Championships in Sydney.

It may have a student population of just 31, but it turns out the tiny Northern NSW school punches, and indeed runs, well above its weight.

Cyan Williams, Jackson Wiseman, Myles Muths and Tully Blucher had all earned their place at the State Championships after topping the podium at local, zone and regional meets.

For Cyan, Jackson and Tully, it marked a return to the same event after reaching last year’s state finals.

They were determined to go one better, and on the big stage at Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre, they did just that.

With support from parent volunteers, the quartet trained multiple times a week, sharpening their baton exchanges and building speed. Their discipline paid dividends: the team bettered its times at every stage, clocking 58.6 seconds at regionals, 58.1 secs in the state heat and a winning the state final in 57.7 secs.

"We are incredibly proud of our students' achievements. They have trained hard and committed to their personal goals,” Principal Kristin Piccoli said.

“It was amazing to see the whole school community get behind the team; the atmosphere was electric. Tears were shed, voices lost. It was a very special moment for our school and our students."

Back home, the Eureka school community followed every moment on a big screen broadcast, erupting in cheers as the team crossed the line to secure the state championship.

Individually, Cyan Williams also lined up in the 12-year-old Girls 100m after posting a 13.9-second personal best at regionals. She shaved that down to 13.6 seconds in her state heat, finishing as the fastest 12-year-old girl from the North Coast Region.

“I feel really good and happy because we tried last year and it didn't happen but this year it did and that made me happy and excited. We had to push through the nervousness of trying to get the baton. But I am glad we won!' Tully said.

The Nigel Bagley relay is named after its long-serving PSSA sports convenor.
