Young athletes at their best

YARRA Ranges Athletics athletes welcomed in the new school year with a fun night of athletics on Friday night.
The opportunity to compete in the evening produced some outstanding performances, including many personal bests.
Several club athletes competed at the Little Athletics Victoria multi-events championships in Moe over the weekend. Results are not yet available but reports indicate our athletes enjoyed the day and competed exceptionally well.
AV Shield finals were held at Lakeside Stadium on Saturday.
Yarra Ranges Athletics had three teams qualify, open women division two, men’s under-20 and women’s under-14.
Our athletes and supporters certainly made sure the other clubs knew we were there.
All of Victoria’s top clubs were represented at the finals.
Yarra Ranges Athletics finished eighth in the women’s open division two and women’s under-14 competitions.
An outstanding day of athletics by all our athletes was capped off with the fourth place by our men’s under-20 team, only 18 points off third.
