Ky Garratt was a 2025 CGNSW Athlete Grant recipient. Pictured here at Canowindra with coach Ernie Shankelton and CGNSW President Michael O'Mara.

Last April Ky placed second in the hammer throw at the Australian under-20 championships with a then PB of 67.01m. It set him up to embark on his 2025/26 campaign where the World U20 Championships are the carrot at the end of the season. He started his summer with a best of 67.64m at the NSW All Schools, then just nudged that PB to 67.66m in Canberra in December.

While his early performances were looking promising, his training was going even better. “Over the course of the summer my gym weights and training had gradually been picking up leading to progressive and consistent small personal bests. This showed signs of a big jump in the near future leading to my success in Dubbo,” Garratt said.
