On the evening of March 26th, during our break up and Presentation evening, we
will hold our AGM which is usually a rather quick affair. Please refer the list
below of committee positions and consider if you would like to join our group of
active, passionate parents. Meetings occur monthly however the main aspect we
are keen to bring to the committee is new blood, enthusiastic parents and people
who are equally eager for our club to continue growing. Please feel free to chat
with any of the existing committee members if you would like to discuss any
issues. Most of the positions have parents who are still at the club who will
still be able to assist with handover as well.
Just letting you all know that the summer season will end on the last Friday of term – March 26th - as a Twilight session with warm-up starting at 5.30pm for 6pm. The last session always covers many things – Cross country Trials for all our kids to have a bit of fun and see if they are keen to do cross country during the winter season. Presentations to our athletes occur to the Top 3 athletes in each age group, the Most Improved as well as Encouragement Awards. Attendance Awards are presented to children who have attended at least 70% our athletics sessions since they have joined up with Kew LAC. We also run our Annual General Meeting. There are a number of people who are leaving the committee as their children are moving on so vacancies exist for all interested parents. Committee Meetings occur monthly in a very relaxed manner. See Dennis Dalla Costa or Nick Carah if you would like more information. Free sausage, drink and a sweet treat for all the children on the evening.
A reminder to all families that athletics at Kew LAC will be held on Friday
evening, March 5th due to the long weekend.
High Jump training has continued at Doncaster Athletics Club – with Kylie
Italiano: Mondays from 5pm – 6pm (This has been organized with Doncaster as the jump pits at Stradbroke Park are very hard at the moment and too compacted) Distance Running – available at Kew LAC with Damian Menzies Wednesdays from 5pm Hurdles Training – available at Doncaster LAC with Tom Kelly Sundays 9am – 10.30am, Mondays from 5pm – 6.30pm - Available at Kew LAC with Josephine Arthur Wednesdays 5pm – 6pm Sprints Training – at Kew LAC with Manuela / Damian / Jenny Wednesdays 5pm – 6pm If you have any queries, please speak with these people directly.
A small handful of current and former Kew LAC athletes competed at the Athletics
Victoria Youth Track and Field Championships as part of Seniors or JDS (Junior
Development Squad as invitees) over the weekend. Many PB’s were achieved which
is a great effort for all. Congratulations to each of our athletes. Their great
results can be viewed at the AV website at www.athsvic.org.au . A number of our
athletes also qualified for the National Youth Track and Field Championships
being held in Sydney later this month. Thanks to our Knox friends, they have
advised there is financial assistance potentially available as follows: For
those who made national qualifying times/distances to compete at the Nationals
in Sydney- Olympic Stadium between Wed 11th March – Sun14th, checkout the grant

Thank you all for
such a fantastic weekend of athletics competition. By my reckoning, running an
event as large as EMR Track and Field
As many of you saw, EMR is a huge exercise that comes together after many hours of planning and preparation by many people, many of whom no longer have active children involved. Two of our own Very Special helpers were Garry Connell and Jenny McCausland who gave up their entire weekend to support Kew LAC as well as the EMR community at large. Jenny had the role of Chief Discus Official and Garry took on the role of Chief Umpire, meaning they were at the track from early both mornings till stumps. Whilst we realize they obviously love their athletics and love catching up with some of their old friends, it’s still a great commitment from them as well as their families so Thanks from us all at Kew.
WOW, what a weekend! I am sure everyone was keen to get home and chill out after
a big weekend at Knox. Congratulations to all the Kew athletes who competed at
EMR. Well done to each and every one of you: many of whom made PB’s over the
weekend. Great competition has inspired you to do your best over the 2 days. A
HUGE thanks to ALL the parents for being able to help on duty and for many of
you also helping out where we had gaps to fill: it makes it a lot easier for us
given that we always have such a wonderful crew of mums and dads willing to
help. 1st Holly Hart U9G 800m 1st Holly Hart U9G 400m 1st Yuan Chow Lui U10B Triple Jump 1st Yuan Chow Lui U10B 800m 1st Nicholas Humphris U11B Shot Put 1st Matthew O’Connell U11B Discus 1st Isabella Dalla Costa U12G Triple Jump 1st Isabella Dalla Costa U12G Long Jump 1st Megan Pengelly U12G 1500m 1st Tom Macisaac U12B High Jump 1st Damon Zethoven U13B Triple Jump 1st Cassandra Dalla Costa U14G Discus 1st Helen Tower U15G 300m Hurdles SILVER MEDALS (7) 2nd Kate Pengelly U9G 800m 2nd Will Golds U9B High Jump 2nd Olivia Carah U11G High Jump 2nd Matthew O’Connell U11B Triple Jump 2nd Noah Chambers U11B Long Jump 2nd Adam Bennett U14B High Jump 2nd Adam Bennett U14B Triple Jump BRONZE MEDALS (8) 3rd Meredith Rule U10G 800m 3rd Yuan Chow Lui U10B 400m 3rd Olivia Carah U11G Triple Jump 3rd Olivia Owen U11G 70m 3rd Bridget Neideck U12G Triple Jump 3rd Megan Pengelly U12G 800m 3rd Callum Spencer U14B 90m Hurdles 3rd Helen Tower U15G 800m

Please note that there are some changes to the program & parents' duties, please refer to the FINAL Amended version below; Click HERE for Final Amended EMR PROGRAM Click HERE for Final Amended Parent Duty List
Please note the FINAL EMR Program is now attached HERE for you to confirm the heat and final times of your events.Main changes affecting Kew athletes relate to the U13G High Jump with the time changed from Saturday am to pm. Please print off the sheets and highlight your events and times – heats and finals. You will also find the list of Kew athletes and their events – please ensure you know your times and that you are at the KNOX Athletics (Knox Park - Map 73 D7) track ready to compete at least 1 hour before your event as marshalling will occur 20 minutes prior to your event and a warm-up would be a good idea. Full KEW LAC competition uniform is mandatory – maroon and gold shorts and singlet or crop top. Call Manuela on 0407 360 310 if you require a set. Click HERE for Kew Boys Athletes Click HERE for Kew Girls Athletes For our new U9 athletes and those who have not competed before, good luck – stay calm and relaxed.
Bring a spare T-shirt, sunscreen and a hat + a spray
bottle as the forecast is hot. Bring plenty of drinks and make sure you start to
hydrate your bodies from Friday, slowly taking in at least 2 litres of water
over the day and continue drinking water over the weekend. If you drink Sports
drinks, please make sure you buffer them with plenty of water as well. Parents' EMR Duties - Refer HERE for Final List
Please remember to sign in with Nick Carah, Kylie Italiano
orManuela on the day so we know you are at the track. Also, ensure you are ready
to swap over from your duty in plenty of time as the workload needs to be shared
amongst us all. The 1st person each day will need to sign in and collect their
tags with the last person of the day needing to sign them back in again. Please
note, due to some athletes withdrawing as late as this week, we have had to
re-adjust the duty list stretching some of your time slots. Sorry about this and
thanks to you all in advance. For the parents, please also make sure you are
well hydrated and that you take a hat and sunscreen with you as well.
At this stage, no final EMR Schedule has been released. This is very uncharacteristic of the usual planning of the entire EMR event and it has occurred due to some unforeseen issues. We are expecting to receive the final program late this evening and upon receipt will forward it all competing athletes and place it on the website. If you have any queries, please call Manuela on 0407 360 310.
An invitation has been extended to all the Kew LAC little athletes who are
competing at EMR over the upcoming weekend to compete at Doncaster LAC on Friday
evening. This is to give each child to get some competition prior to the
weekend, if they want it. The assumption is that children who are competing in
the 800m on the Saturday morning would NOT go down to Doncaster. The only
expectation is that if your child would like to compete at Doncaster, the
parents MUST volunteer to do a duty on the evening.
Parents, please refer HERE for your Duties over the two competing days, 20th & 21st Feb. We tried our best to align parent's duty time to their children's events as best as possible. Please try to stick with this program, or you may refer to Nick if you have any problem with this arrangement.
Attached please find Kew LAC athletes that are confirmed for EMR Region T&F Championships that is to be held at Knox Park Mel 73 D7, on 20th and 21st February 2010.

A small group of dedicated Kew LAC athletes drove out to Bendigo with their
families supporting them loudly. The weather was hot and windy and difficult by
the end of the day when our athletes ran their 800m events. Congratulations to
all the younger children who competed on the Saturday and the older athletes who
competed on the Sunday. Many PB’s were achieved which is everyone’s primary aim.
Detailed results can be found on the VLAA website (www.vlaa.com.au) whilst our
athletes’ details follow. Well done to you all and good luck for the upcoming
EMR Track & Field round over the weekend of February 20th and 21st.
