YARRA Ranges athletics has resumed after a well-earned summer break with the same enthusiasm and energy as before Christmas.
Last Saturday saw some outstanding performances highlighted by a club record Georgia Laven over the 400 meters.
Saturday 18 January was the club’s multi event championships in readiness for the State Multi Event Championships.
All athletes enjoyed the challenge of completing all the events with the aim of generating points from each event.
Full results will be available on the website.
The seniors also returned to the track with a special mention to Nathan Hall, Dale Jordinson and Michael Clarke for their debut track and field performances for the club.
All three showed great promise in their respective events and we hope they enjoyed themselves.
Standout performances were from Aiden Pace (400 metres), Lateisha Willis (90 metre hurdles), Michael Clarke (javelin) and the Under 18 men 4×100 metre relay team.
The next Little Athletics event will be on Friday 24 January from 4.45pm.
