Early years

[edit | edit source]

Stratton started her career at the Nunawading Little Athletics center at the age of 5, following in the footsteps of her brother, Jamie. Four years later she won the under-9 state title and her success in the long jump continued with the World Youth Championships in 2009 where she placed 10th. She then competed at the world juniors in 2010 and 2012.[3] She also competed in athletics at school level for Caulfield Grammar School.

In 2013 Stratton was diagnosed with coeliac disease. She had been struggling with fatigue & associated symptoms of undiagnosed Coeliac Disease for most of the previous two years. She changed her diet and performance improved. She was selected in the 2014 Commonwealth Games but was forced to withdraw with an injury.[3]

Achievements

Stratton competed at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing leaping 6.64m in the qualifying round but narrowly missed the final. In the 2016 Summer Olympics she finished seventh.[4]

As a 23 year old, she jumped a personal best of 7.05m at the Perth Track Classic on 12 March 2016, breaking the 14-year-old Australian record held by Bronwyn Thompson.

She was selected for the Australian Athletics team (in long jump) at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, Queensland and was placed 2nd with a leap of 6.77m.[5][6]

Personal life
