Jake Murphy, Hunter and Digby Hennessy earned multiple qualifications between them.
Jake will take on the long jump after winning it at regionals.
Hunter's first in triple jump, second in javelin, third in hurdles, fourth in shot put and discus has seen him qualify for those events.
Digby also finished with second in discus, third in high jump, third in the 70 metre dash, fourth in the 60m hurdles, and fifth in the long jump. The top four places earned him a start at state.
Border Blues club secretary Kym-Maree Hennessy said it was quite an achievement for such a small club to have so much success.
"Normally we would have two or three, or sometimes up to four qualified. We are only a very small club, we only have 32 members registered this season," she said.
The field is much bigger, the heats are much larger and the competition is much stronger because it is the best from each region from all over Queensland.
