Doncaster Newsletter 

Round 10 – 12/02/2022

There were a few athletes missing this week due to Little Athletics Regionals being held at Knox. Despite this, the Under 14 Women managed to finish as the top team in the state for the round!

Notable performances included Jack Dalton running a national qualifying time in the 3000m to go with the 800m and 1500m national qualifiers he has already run this season, Peter Holland running a national qualifier in the 400m to go with the 800m qualifier he ran in round one and Michael Gallagher breaking the 60 second barrier in the 400m for the first time. Also, a big thank you to the parents and athletes who assisted with our club helper duties in the afternoon session.

After ten rounds, our Under 14 Men have won their fifth consecutive Red Zone/Zone A premiership and the twenty first region/zone title for this age group in club history. Other outstanding Zone team performances included the Under 14 Women finishing second, the Under 16 Women and Under 18 Men finished third and our Under 18 Women and 40+ Men came in fourth place.

In the AVSL Premier Division ladder, we slipped a position to end our title defence in sixth place. Considering we only hosted one round at the track and had to travel to compete, it is a commendable effort by our athletes who did their best every week. However, next season holds so much promise with the club remaining in Premier Division and our track being available to host more rounds!

Also, a special mention to Joel Tobin-White and Declan Carman who competed in the Adelaide Invitational on Saturday night. Joel finished 3rd in the 5000m, running a PB of 13:38.99 and Declan finished 3rd in the Open Discus with a best throw of 52.32m.

The Victorian Championships are being held over the next two weekends with many of our athletes hitting peak form and aiming for some strong performances.
