Private running coach Les O’Brien said Ethan, 12, Ashton, 10, and Maddie Talbot, 8, had big futures if they kept going the way they were performing.
The trio have been training with O’Brien for three months since he was introduced to them at the Albury Little Athletics Club.
He said the siblings had come on in leaps and bounds and there was no one in their age groups locally who could get near them.
The Talbots competed at the Leeton Little Athletics Open Day earlier this year and came back home with 10 gold medals and a silver between them across running, hurdles and jumping events.
O’Brien said the season was nearly over but the youngsters were going to train through winter.
“I just saw them winning in their age groups and thought these kids have got big potential,” he said. “They're very keen and love coming to training and pester their father to bring them.”
