Albury, Wodonga, Lavington-Jindera, Mentone, Kyabram and Shepparton Little Athletics Clubs were represented, along with a handful of participants from the Albury Thunder.
Albury Little Athletics Centre secretary Elisabeth McGuire said it was an enjoyable day.
“She shared her story of how she started with Little Athletics and ended up competing at the Olympics,” McGuire said.
“All the kids got to hold the Olympic torch she ran with.
“She did agility drills with them, obviously running drills and plenty of work on their technique.”
McGuire said the club would like to host more clinics for its athletes following the success of Gainsford-Taylor’s visit.
