Now that we have most of our Registrations in a Set Up / Pack Up Duty Calendar will be shared to give you an idea of when you’re up for duty and who you can swap with.

Thanks in advance to those who dutifully fulfil this role and to those who simply turn up when they can even when not on duty – this helps us to run on time (literally) and keeps our Meets on track () – legends!

Usually if we start late, this is due to sites / track not ready to go yet. Many hands / light work / home on time / everyone happy.

A huge (& little late) CONGRATULATIONS to our CLAC athletes who broke Outside Records at the Coles State Meet #2 in Launceston on the 20th November.

It was one for the throwers with Palepa L U12G Discus, New Record 29.12m and brother Xavier L U14B Shot Put, New Record 12.18m. Then Marz K backed it up with U13G Javelin, New Record 33.86m.

Congratulations super throwers! CLAC has a proud history of very successful throwers (even Commonwealth Games star Hamish Peacock – Javelin) and for our current athletes to be breaking these records is a huge achievement!

For new families, check out the RECORDS tab here on our website for details regarding ‘Local’ and ‘Outside’ records.

GO CLAC!

CONGRATULATIONS to our 133 athletes who competed on Saturday.

Together you achieved a massive 211 PBs!!!! What amazing improvement!

A special shout out to our U6 Girls who are obviously getting used to condition with ALL of these girls achieving a PB in their 70m sprint – woohoo!

There were also another 51 PBs in the 70m this week, followed by a huge 47 PBs in the 200m and the Jumps PB winner was Long Jump with 26 PBs. What a superb effort in beautiful conditions at Clarence High.

Our Tiny Tots led the way with their first High Jump session which was extremely exciting and a joy to watch. Lots of budding athletes getting ready for their U6 debut.

Nicholas C is racking up his accolades with more records on the track. An equal record in the u14B 70m and a NEW RECORD in the 200m, old record 26.5, New Record 25.8…..congratulations Nick.

THANK YOU once again for your help and those who volunteered to try something new. Brilliant effort!

As our numbers fluctuate due to other sporting commitments on certain weekends etc, it can be tricky to ascertain how many athletes each age group has at any one Meet. We are happy for the AGCs to come and chat to us in the Tower about how we schedule your events to best meet your groups needs, eg: if you have half the amount of athletes than normal etc we could sneak you off to a field event earlier than usual. PLEASE NOTE however that our run sheets take into account our site use / track needs etc. Therefore if you have a delay between your events it is most likely due to a site not being available to you at that time eg: discus cage or full jump pit etc or that we need you at the track. We love to work with you and your group to swiftly get you through the Meet. We have no interest in delaying you for any reason apart from avoiding site clashes and track delays, eg: if you go to a field event unscheduled when we are about to call your group to the track, this will put you to the end of the track list which will then cause you a delay there & also delay to others. So, please pop up and have a friendly chat about what’s going on with your group and together we can ensure a smooth Meet for everyone.

Results are now updated.

REMINDER: MAKE UP TWILIGHT MEET TOMORROW (Tuesday 30th Nov) at 5PM
