This weekend we start our CLAC CENTRE CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Sat 19th Feb Warm up 8.15am. First Event called at 8.30am.

Tiny Tots at 10am.

Get excited – this is the last time our athletes compete in each Event at CLAC for this Season. Ribbons will be presented after each Event (Volunteers please!)

Sorry no outside Centre visiting athletes to our Championship Meets.

Here are the programs for the next three weeks (please ignore the dates at the top, see the dates below the grid).

Please note the programs differ from our usual programs and as athletes only compete once in each Event some weeks will be lighter than usual.

CLAC Championship weeks are slightly different from our normal Meets as we simulate a State type environment to help our athletes to be ready for State Individual Championships in March.

We require independant Chief Officials for each Event. PLEASE let us know if you can volunteer for this. You can still help out on your own athletes Events and we will definitely need the help too.

To compete athletes must have competed in the Event at least once at CLAC this season.

Full CLAC Uniform must be worn.

There is to be no coaching during the Events (eg: the athletes must work out their own run ups etc)

Track Events will be seeded and athletes will be marshalled in listed lanes (Volunteers please – you will have the paperwork to read off)

ROLES WE NEED TO FILL:

*Chief Officials for each Field Event – will present ribbons at the end of each Event.

PLEASE VOLUNTEER AT THE TOWER UPON ARRIVAL.

*Starter (share x3, 1 for Hurdles, 1 for 70m and 1 for 800m)

*Start Marshall (usher athletes to lanes at start x3 share as above)

*Finish Marshall (ensure athletes stay in their lane and in order – x3 share as above)

*Ribbon Presenter after each Track Event (x3 share as above)

PLEASE VOLUNTEER AT THE TRACK TENT UPON ARRIVAL.

If we easily fill these roles, everyone will have time to watch some of their own kids events as well as helping out on the track to ensure our Meet runs efficiently.

Best of Luck to all of our superstar CLAC athletes!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR CLAC ATHLETES WHO HAVE ACHIEVED AN ‘OUTSIDE RECORD’ SO FAR THIS SEASON!

Due to a change in surfaces & conditions etc we do not recognise performances at other meets (other Centres & State meets), or meets we hold away from home (eg: at the Domain)as Local Records. Therefore our list of Outside Records give those performances the credit they deserve.

Outside records have been kept since 2001 – records set prior to 2001 were State records at the time.

Congratulations to:

Paige N U12G Hurdles, New Record 13.8

Lachlan B U7B Hurdles, New Record 10.9

Jemima G U12G Long Jump, New Record 4.81

Palepa L U12G Discus, New Record 29.12

Palepa L U12G Shot Put, New Record 11.26

Xavier L U14B Shot Put, New Record 13.67

Marz K U13G Javelin, New Record 33.86.

Results are now updated online.

Well done!!

We also had 4 NEW RECORDS:

Macy D U12G broke a 20 year old Walks Record in our Walks Championships, old record 8.28.0, New Record 8.13.8 – she now holds a clean sweep of records in U10, U11 and U12 girls – what an awesome result!

Congratulations to all of our athletes on such a brilliant Meet and responding the the chaos that is Athletes Choice Meet with a smile and thank you to the parents / carers who took on jobs which kept you busy for a little (a lot) longer than usual.

Team work makes the dream work…….
