120 athletes took part in our Meet on Saturday where they braved our typical Tassie weather with four seasons in one morning!

Athletes were still able to achieve 37 Qualifiers even in the challenging conditions. Results are now updated.

Why do we highlight Qualifying results? There are Qualifying Standards attached to the State Individual Championships held at the end of each Season (March). To enter this Championships athletes must be U8 – U13 and have met the qualifying standard for the event they wish to compete in twice to be guaranteed entry. U14 – U15 athletes do not need to qualify to enter the SIC however it is a good guide to what you will be wanting to achieve to be competitive at this level. You can find the qualifying standards in our printed manual.

Athletes will also gather GOLD STAR BADGES as they achieve ‘Qualifiers’. These will automatically be added by Phil to the Age Group folders with a list of who has achieved which stars etc. Age Group Co-ordinators will be handing these out soon. The Gold Star badges are sewn on the back of the competition singlets/polos. You can find this information and more under our RESOURCES tab.

Here is a exert regarding Qualifying Standards from the LATAS By- Laws. You can read the context and other By-Laws on their website.

REMINDER: Training Tuesday 3.30pm U6 – U10 and 4.30pm U11 – U15 at Clarence High

Our next Meet is on Friday (Twilight) due to the Coles State Meet #3 in Penguin on Saturday.

A reminder that you must wear full CLAC uniform to State Meets including plain black shorts above the knee. GOODLUCK to our athletes competing at this Meet – GO CLAC!

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!
