Summer Season- March 6- Interclub Finals
The second week of interclub finals saw Paige Hooper and Kim Mottrom take out the 5km,
with Piper Douglas winning the 1500m while Claire Xian recorded a PB over 5km. This
Friday Paige, Kristie, Claire and Blake Steele will be in Sydney for the under 20 10,000m
trials, good luck to all of them!
Next week we have a 3km/1500m walk at 1pm, make sure you go to www.athleticssa.org
and enter via email before Tuesday!!
The second little athletics come and try day was a huge success with 15 young athletes
coming to walk either 1km or 2km. The following athletes achieved PB's in comparison to
their first walk a month ago- Erin Dallimore, Lachlan Tyler Dowd, Rhiannon Lovegrove,
Chantelle Nicolaides, Michael Nicolaides, Kaihlah Hannaford, Nicholas Dallimore, Riona
Tyler Dowd, Owen Guthrie, Ethan Martland Dabbouss, Jessica Stephens, Thomas
Martland and Simone Martland. Those who didn't get better, were very close however!
Congratulations to all walkers who came out and tried their best. It was an enjoyable day
for all and hopefully we'll see them all out again this coming winter season.
Little athletics results are attached just to the left of this paragraph.
Thank you to Darren Bown, Blake and Allegra Steele, Kristie Goznik, Jim Hoare, Barb
Cain, Peter Crump, Lotta Danner, Jemma Potezny, Carol Goznik, Paul and Sue Steele,
Sandy Brunner, Bob Cruise, Tonia Lewry and Zoe Bryson for coming out to support the
club and to help and encourage these new athletes.
Interclub finals bought another small crowd out, with many familiar faces missing. Blake
Steele didn't seem to mind, as he walked a state under 18 3km record. Kim Mottrom and
Kristie Goznik were the next to finish, with Kristie doing her best 3km of the summer
season.
We have finalised the program which can be seen in the above link (2010 handbook).
In Hobart (Feb 13) it looks as if Paige Hooper, Claire Xian and Blake Steele have all
secured a spot in either the under 20 world race walking cup or the world juniors as all
three walked PB's, qualifying times and were top 4.
The results in Hobart have affected the all time rankings, so check them out.
Unfortunately we had a bit of drama at the start of the state 5km. Just as in the winter
season, ASA has requirements for the uniform you need to wear at interclub and state
titles. A couple of members learned today that unfortunately they can be stopped from
racing if these requirements are not met, hopefully this doesn't happen again.
For our first little athletics Come and Try day, we had an excellent turn out of 20 little
athletes from 9 years and up. Unfortunately, and disappointingly we had only one club
member under the age of 25 come out to support the club and offer encouragement to
the new walkers. However despite this, the day was a huge success with many walkers
showing a lot of potential and many young walkers interested in joining us in the winter.
