LATEISHA Willis and James Laven were gold medal winners at the Victorian All Schools Track and Field Championships at Lakeside Stadium on Saturday.
Lateisha won the 100m, 90m hurdles and 200m hurdles titles in her Under 16s age group while James won the 2000m steeplechase and placed second in the 3000m in his Under 16s age group.
Other Yarra Ranges Athletics club members to medal were Georgia Laven with second in the Under 14s 800m, Tayleb Willis with third place in Under 14s triple jump, Brooke Mullins in Under 15s 2000m steeplechase and Lee Taylor with third in the Under 15s 3000m walk.
A cool, drizzly morning for Little Athletics did not deter a good turnout of athletes, resplendent in the club colours for the annual club versus club day.
The announcement of club captains and the continuation of interclub rivalry ensured an enjoyable morning for all athletes, helpers and parents.
A big thank you for those parents helping to set up and pack up.
The club needs more of you to help so the day can run smoothly and quickly.
A fantastic time was had by club members and friends on Saturday night at the ‘Totally Grouse Trivia Night’.
Many took the chance to dress up to the ’80s theme.
Thanks to Sophie and Darren for much of the organising and the many sponsors who supported the fund-raiser evening.
