Doncaster Newsletter
The ninth round of Doncaster was held at Meadowglen and Frankston, so Doncaster was reasonably well represented, considering the distance to travel and the number still on holidays.
After a fifth placing in Division 2 last round, Doncaster had a magnificent win! There were big wins for the Men’s Open, 40+ and the Women’s Under 16, all teams coming second last round. The Men’s 14 team also won.
This has made the leader board for Division 2 very crowded. Currently it is:
- Nunawading 82
- Doncaster 79
- Mornington 78
- Eaglehawk 76
With Nunawading finishing fourth this week, the chances of finishing on top of the ladder are looking good.
Eliza Chivers was our best scorer with 512 for her W14 high jump. Liam Procaccino was also over 500 with Petra Edwards, Alessia Wynne and Wesley Spargo not far below.
Athletes to top the state in their Division 2 groups included Graham Ford (M40 300 hurdles), Liam McLennan (M16 1500 metres walk) and Eliza Chivers (F14 High Jump). Athletes to top the state in their age groups were Alastair Christy (MOP 1500 metres), Liam McLennan (M16 1500 metres walk), Graham Ford (M40 300 hurdles), Darryl Kilmartin (M40 Triple Jump), Alessia Wynne (F18 100 hurdles and Long Jump), Elisa Chivers (F14 200 hurdles and High Jump) and Charmaine Smith (F40 High Jump). Again, a lot of winners.
This was a very encouraging round for Doncaster heading towards the finals. It’s a matter of keeping up the momentum at next weekend’s round at Ringwood and Werribee (Competition was scheduled for Keilor Park but has been switched to Werribee). There is still time to pre-enter for events before midday Wednesday and we would like to encourage athletes to enter at Ringwood which will host the AVSL final program of events.
