Montag, 16, placed 12th overall, but when combined with the eighth place of teammate Clara Smith, Australia’s total score was enough to finish third behind China and Spain.
Meanwhile, Montag’s younger sister Piper has excelled as captain of the Victorian under-13 girls’ team at the National Little Athletics Championships at Lakeside Stadium.
Piper came second in the shot put, fifth in the triple jump and seventh in the hurdles.
