The third week of Shield (October 19) saw Doncaster athletes travelling quite a distance for their competition, so numbers were down, though Dani McDowell ran an 800 at Aberfeldie and a 400 at Yarra Ranges. However, we were still second in Division 2 to Bendigo team, Eaglehawk by a narrow margin.

In Red Zone the Men’s 40+ team had another big win with wins also in the Men’s Under 20, Under 16 and Under 14 and Women’s Under 18 and Under 16. This was the first time the Women’s Under 16 had won in a very close contest with Preston and Diamond Valley.

Special mention should be made of Under 16 athletes, Owen Rice and Luke Sinn, who both scored over 500 points.

A number of athletes topped the State in Division 2: Thomas Reynold (200 metres), Ethan Sinn (800 metres) and Luke Sinn (3000 metres). Second in the  State were  Hannah Williams (800 metres),  Rachael White (1500 metres), Remy Williams (3000 metres), Alastair Christy (5000 metres), Hariette Glover (400 hurdles) and Eliza Chivers (high jump). The depth of middle distance running was evident in Doncaster filling the first five places in the 800 metres.

Athletes to top the State in their age groups included Caleb Sinn (M20 800 metres), Melissa Niewoudt (F20 800 metres), Ethan Sinn (M18 800 metres), Hannah Williams (F18 800 metres),  Tom Reynolds (M16 200 metres), Luke Sinn (M16 3000 metres), Liam McLennan (M16 2000 walk), Sisley Rosano (F16 100 metres), Lachlan Reynolds (M14 200 metres), Brodie Mierisch (M14 Discus), Rachel White (F14 1500 metres), Eliza Chivers (F14 High Jump) and Jasmine Smith (F14 Javelin),
