In the lead up, most primary school aged entrants will ply their trade around the athletics tracks of Australia's capital cities while others are specialising in a variety of sports-science-influenced programs to enhance their abilities.

However Braith White is not one of those junior athletes.

Instead, the happy-go-lucky Year 5 student continues to strengthen his athletic ability by running around the tracks located on his family's rural residence at Jerrys Plains.

"I've got two goals in Darwin," he told the Singleton Argus.

"I want to win the 100m but I also don't want to be arrogant and show sportsmanship."

Last year his time of 13.27 in Melbourne saw him take out the national title while he also guided the NSW team 4x100m relay to glory.

"Last year I didn't know anyone who I was versing but I do remember this kid from Queensland and he sat there bragging how no one could beat his time," he continued.

"His time (from memory) was 13.26.

"Then me and my best mate got on the podium after the race above him and he stood on the bronze podium saying you guys won but you still didn't beat my time.

"That was disrespectful but it makes me appreciate my speed because I didn't know how well I'd go in nationals. "So this year I'd like to see if he's improved as well."

White will enter with confidence after the speedster recorded a new personal best time of 12.95 seconds when representing Jerrys Plains Public School in the national trials last month.

And he achieved that feat with a sore ankle as well.

When asked for his heroes he saved the top spot of the podium for his mother Madeleine Walsh.

"Our mission is to make sure he gets there," she told the Argus in August.

"The sponsors we have so far are, the Bulga Tavern and Coal Face, Sportspower Singleton and CFMEU.

"Darwin is costing us about $5,500 between accommodation and compulsory apparel because once you're at that level its mandatory what you need to wear.

"But our aim is to support him and that's what we'll continue to do."

Ultimately, White will enter both the 100m and the relay events on Friday with a happy-go-luck attitude.

"The sport means a lot," he concluded. "It's fun and it's cool because you get to make new friends and you get to win if you're fast enough.

"But over the next few years I think I can get a bit better because my aim is to get into the Olympics and the Invictus games for the 100m."
