YARRA RANGES ATHLETICS
THE latest round of Little Athletics at Morrison Reserve had the Yarra Ranges Athletics athletes competing in the multi-event program.
A competition where athletes compete in preselected events with their performance generating points, similar to the decathlon competition at Olympics.
It is a fun, challenging event that brings out the best in all athletes as they strive to gain the most points they can in each event.
Results will be announced at the next round of Little Athletics on Saturay, 3 December.
The senior team had the week off apart from our talented Under 16s relay team of Harrison Van Duuren, Cameron Brown, Zane Wheeler and Pat Keating, who competed in teh Victorian Track Relay Championships at Lakeside Stadium.
Some fantastic performances resulted in a 13th place in the medley relay and a 12th place in the 4x100m relay.
The club had two athletes competing at the Australian Primary Schools Track and Field Championships in Sydney over the weekend.
Kiara Flavel and Maddie Laven competed in the Under 11s Girls 800m, the final run on Monday.
Check the club website for results.
This coming weekend we have two athletes, Georgia Laven and Sam Norton, competing in the Australian All Schools Track and Field Championships in Canberra. Good luck, Georgia and Sam.
