23.01.2022 What a GREAT day for athletics! We don't mean just for us either! Today saw the return of many of our metro centres to competition for the first time in many, many months after lock down in Victoria. It has been a wonderful afternoon seeing all the photos and smiles from our friends at all the returning centres, photos of the children returning to the track, seeing their friends and having a go at athletics. At one point we didn't even know if there would even be an athletics season so for everyone to be getting back to competition it is a great feeling! Congratulations to all those who returned to competition and those not far behind them - it has been a mighty effort behind the scenes from committees and volunteers but the reward today would have been one AMAZING feeling! We can't wait to see you all at a Region or State event soon!

09.01.2022 In hot conditions our athletes smashed the PB's with a huge weekly total of 245!! This brings our whole centre season total to 719! Such a fantastic effort by all! Well done to our record breakers and to Hamish and Tori who set the combined event records for their respective age groups also.

09.01.2022 What a week!!! Combined events on one of our hottest days yet. (35 C). I am not sure how our kids do it. I was dying just standing on the track. Because of my 'heat intolerance' I didn't get around a whole lot, but I did manage to find myself a nice spot to photograph my fav event to photograph -the 800m. (I think when you see the pics you will see why!) Hope I managed to catch your child at least once through the day.... also If I haven't managed to catch your child or age group yet - please let me know. I definitely don't want to miss anyone. :)
