Former Corowa sprint runner Mitch O’Neill is in peak condition for this year’s Easter Stawell Gift, the most prestigious footrace in Australia.
“I’m feeling really good, the coach and I have done everything possible to be best prepared,” the 26-year-old told The Free Press.
“The field’s wide open this year and there are around 25 behind the 5m mark.”
One of Mitch’s rivals will be much-talked about record breaker, 17-year-old Gout Gout.
But Mitch is just concentrating on his own performances come Easter leading to Monday’s final.
The 2025 Powercor Stawell Gift will be broadcast live and free on Seven and 7plus.
