Round 4 – 12/11/2022  

Photos  

With competition at Doncaster again this week, we were down a bit on what we would expect, partly due to athletes choosing to run in the Vic Milers on Thursday. Diamond Valley used their Power Play, but were upstaged by Eaglehawk, who also played theirs.  

The Women’s Under 20 team had a big win, with the Men’s and Women’s 40+ and Men’s and Women’s Under 14 scoring well. A special mention to Lydia Rinaudo who ran a national qualifying time in the 3k Steeple.

Round 5 of AVSL is this Saturday the 19th at Casey Fields and Epping. Information including draft timetables and current entry lists can be found on the AVSL Round page 

Some of our athletes also competed in the Vic Milers meet at Lakeside on Thursday evening, with the standout performance coming from Remy Williams who smashed the Under 17 3000m club record by 8.74 seconds! His time of 8:25.00 bettered the previous record held by C McKenzie since 1985, and was less than two seconds off Jeff Chambers’ Under 18 club record for the same distance.

All results below after a few community announcements !

Helpers  

A big shout out to Sean Peters, David Rowlands, Andy Parrott, David Firth, David Vaughan, Renee Reardon, Declan Brown-Porteous, Eliza Chivers, Mary Tolcos, Emma Peak, Kim Peak, Laura McLennan and Alana Mierisch who helped this week with setup and pack up of the track and equipment, moving hurdles and changing their heights, lap scoring for our steeplechasers and assisting with our duty on Hammer Throw and Pole Vault. We are always grateful for the assistance provided and appreciate it when people step up to assist when there is a task to do.
