Emily Pincott was the stand out performance from Yarra Ranges Athletics athletes at the Victorian Track and Field Championships held over the last weekend at Lakeside Stadium.
Emily won gold in the U14 women High Jump, equalling her club record with a height of 1.55m.
This is an excellent return to form for Emily after a few weeks off with foot issues.
Carolyn Rosenbrock took gold in the Women 60-64 3000m walk in the very ordinary weather on the opening weekend with a solid 17.24 walk.
Kimi Tove was superb winning bronze in the U14 Men’s Javelin with his throw of 26.98m.
An excellent reward for some consistent training with coach Graeme Woolridge.
