Lakara-Stalla-Head-shot.jpg

I am a 21-year-old Indigenous female sprinter from Adelaide. I have been passionate about sprinting since I was 10 and my main event is the 200m in which I recently achieved a personal best of 22.86 seconds.

Track and field has shaped me into a disciplined and resilient person. I take great pride in representing Indigenous women in sport and hope to inspire future generations to chase their own dreams through hard work and determination. I wanted to be part of the Share a Yarn Program because I believe it will be valuable for my growth as an athlete to connect with other Indigenous athletes in my sport. I want to build relationships, offer support and receive the same in return, fostering a strong sense of community for our future in this sport. I hope to build meaningful connections with other Indigenous athletes, sharing experiences and supporting each other in our sporting journeys. This program will help me grow as both an athlete and a role model, strengthening my leadership skills and cultural identity. Most importantly, I want to contribute to a strong, supportive community that inspires future Indigenous athletes to pursue their dreams.
