Summer Season- February 6- State Titles
We had some small fields again, but some very fast times and a bit of drama.
I have taken videos of walkers competing on Sunday and have attached them at the
bottom of this page.
Paige Hooper and Kim Mottrom took out the open 5km titles, with Blake Steele breaking
Liam Murphy's Under 20 record well in front of both of them. Claire Xian was also a winner
in the under 20 age group. Peter Crump took out the over 35 5km, with Gloria doing the
same for the women. Barb and Jim both won the over 50 age group.
Jemma Potezny took out the under 14 1500m in a nice time, then Sunday won the 3km as
well.
Unfortunately we had a bit of drama at the start of the 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 unfortnately they can be stopped from racing if
these requirements are not met, hopefully this doesn't happen again.
For our first 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.
The next Come and Try will be on the 28th of February (check link in top right corner). We
would like as many club members as possible to come out for an exhibition 2km race so
the young walkers have some role models and a reason to want to strive to do better.
See you next weekend

2009 Summary below.
Bob Cruise has finally completed his History of SA book, which is for sale directly from him
for $30. Any profits of the book will go to the walkers club once the costs have been
covered so please support the book.
