This came one week after she smashed the 36-year-old under-11 girls’ shot put record, registering a remarkable 10.17m.
Shepparton Little Athletics Centre president Aileen Zanelli said she was incredibly proud of Duncan’s efforts.
“Two records within a week, it’s a phenomenal effort, she has really been training for it and has improved with her throws,” Zanelli said.
“We are proud of any of the kids that break records and cannot wait to see her continue to develop.”
