More than 200 athletes at new track
WEEK two of Warrnambool Little Athletics saw more than 200 athletes take to the track.
This included over 80 trialling athletes who were also keen to get out and compete in a range of jumps, throws, sprints and distance events.
This is the largest number of athletes that the track (or committee) has seen in many years.
The club extends its appreciation for the incredible patience shown by both the athletes and parents to the new committee while members learn to navigate new programs and new learnings.
The large group of centre athletes made the track a sea of happy faces, with new uniforms looking fantastic (for those who missed out, a new order will be in soon)
In coming weeks the club is looking forward to the Western Country Region Relays.
This year the event will be held in Ballarat on November 17.
Teams will be announced in the coming week, with training to begin in earnest.
The new track is looking amazing, and members were blessed with brilliant sunshine and a warm night for last week’s session where athletes learnt some new techniques, made new friends and also caught up with some old friends as well.
Next week will see the start of the normal program and, as such, the centre is looking for help from any parents/carers.
Those who are able to help out are asked to contact the centre via its facebook page – where you can learn more about how you can assist.
A reminder that the Coles Community Round will be held in two weeks.
This is a great night and the centre is hoping to see the track covered in red on the night.
As always, events will begin at 5pm Friday at the Brauerander Park track.
