DAC NEWSLETTER – SPECIAL EDITION
Whilst the rest of the DAC Athletes were missing competition or perhaps taking a long weekend break away or perhaps going to the races, our younger athletes were out there running, jumping and throwing themselves into the School Track & Field Championships at Lakeside.
Although the weather was kind this weekend just gone, maybe even a little warm for a run, the previous weekend was not so great with a wet track, some cold starts and Saturday not getting above 17 degrees.
Despite that, the performances were credible with a significant number of Personal Bests, some very close to a PB and most of our athletes finishing in the top 10.
Honourable mentions to:
- Jamison Harding competed in the most events across both weekends with 5 in total, on the podium in 3 (all PB’s), with a medal of each colour and equalling Tahlia Grace’s club record in the U14 Pole Vault!
- Jamison’s older sister, Shakira won gold and broke the club record in the Under 16 90m Hurdles. Shakira’s time of 12.88 beat Sarah Fitt’s record from 2012 by 0.26 seconds!
- Matthew Parrott who ran a PB in his 100m heat and came away with 2nd place in the final, and was only 0.01 short of a PB in his 200m final placing 3rd.
- Felix Hattwich for 3rd place and a PB in Pole Vault for only the second time competing in the event.
- Allegria Basile jumped a 15cm PB, 30cm better than her most recent AVSL jump.
- Our 800m runners set the track alight with Nathanael Uecker continuing to smash out PB’s in his second season, Ben Purser cracked the 2-minute barrier for the first time and Aiden Marasco ran a PB in the Prelim and then beat it in the final!
- And Lula Parrott is already in the top 5 in her first season of Hammer Throw with a whopping 21.61m!
After two weekends of competition, we finished with a total medal haul of seven gold, four silver and five bronze as well as a massive thirty-five personal best performances and two club records!
We also want to give a huge shout out to John McCool, Warren Hattwich, Wendy Smith, Julie O’Neil, Darryl Kilmartin and Julie King for assisting with our club helper duties across both weekends. Thank you so much! We greatly appreciate your time and efforts during the competition.
AVSL resumes this Saturday at Doncaster and Duncan MacKinnon and based on entry numbers, we are looking like having another strong showing.
Entries for Round 5 at Casey and Epping on the 19th of November are already open, so make sure you register ASAP! Field events at Epping are nearly full already so make sure to jump on to the AV website to enter!
