State Relay Championships

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It looked like a soggy state track and field championships at 8am last Sunday morning but by mid morning the track was sparkling in the sun and our athletes were sparkling on the track!  Congratulations to all teams who competed and to parents supporting our little athletes.  Click HERE to see all the HEAT results. Click HERE to see the FINAL results.

Christmas Break Up now next Saturday

There will be no athletics this morning - after all the rain the ground is water logged and too wet for Santa!  We have rescheduled the Christmas Break Up to next Saturday morning 20th December from 8:45am.  The multi event certificates will be handed out and we will run a couple of fun events with a quick visit from Santa - it will be a short program.  We hope to see you all then dressed for Christmas!

Competition at Kew

The Multi Event Day at Kew is going to be held this Saturday 6th December and not in February 2009 as previously scheduled.  Multi Event is a separate competition (even scored differently) and all children do hurdles, 100m, Long Jump, Discus and 400m or 800m.

The 2009 State Multi Event Championships are being held for U9 - U15 athletes at Warrnambool on 31 Jan 2009 to 01 Feb 2009.  Any athlete can enter these championships - there is no qualification. Please speak with Manuela Dalla Costa if you are interested as a number of Kew families are going and accommodation has been booked together.

 

Congratulations to all the athletes who competed at the Waverley Open Day last Sunday. Best wishes also to one of our U15 athletes, Stephanie Larkin, who is off to compete in the Pan Pacific Games.  Good luck Stephanie and have fun!

One last reminder - on Saturday 13th December we will have a Christmas Fun day.  Our program will be shorter and some fun events will be included - perhaps a parent/child relay, sack races, events for the younger brothers and sisters, etc.  Athletes and siblings receive a free sausage and ice-cream.
