With the help of the local community to get them there, Cambooya teenagers Kyrna and Tomas Crump both won medals at the Australian Cross Country Championships in Adelaide.

Representing their state, the pair competed in both individual and team events.

The venue was the picturesque Oakbank Racecourse in the Adelaide Hills.

In the individual 3 kilometre race, Kyrna finished in fifth place over the line, but as para athletes disabilities are factored into the final result, after the percentages were calculated she finished sixth.

Her medals came in the team event, where she secured a gold, and in the time trial, where she finished third.

Tomas finished in third place in his age group, then finished fifth overall.

In the team event, he secured a silver medal and in the relay a silver medal as well.

Their mother Dellias Crump said the family is very grateful for all the support shown by the community.

A raffle hosted by the Cambooya Post Office and supported by local businesses raised $2,100 so the Crumps could afford to travel to Adelaide.
