Relay runners in state titles

It’s been an exciting time for Gisborne Little Athletics, with four teams representing the club at the State Relay Championships in early February.

All the competitors and coaches put a lot of time into training for this event and the club is very proud of their achievements: the U11 Girls were 16th; U11 Mixed Boys and Girls team was 8th; U12 Boys were 16th; and U10 Girls were 22nd.

Following this event, Gisborne had a record number of athletes competing at the Western Metro Region Track and Field Carnival at Corio, Geelong, on 18 and 19 February. Each athlete could enter a maximum of five events. We are looking forward to sharing some promising results from this carnival next month.

We now have 10 athletes competing in 20 track and field disciplines at the State Carnival in Albert Park this month.

If you are interested in Little Athletics, come down to Dixon Field on a Friday afternoon (from 5pm) to see what we do, try some athletics and meet our athletes and committee. New members are always welcome. Sophie de Castro
