Ashgrove Rangers

Summer is track and field season and Ashgrove Rangers have been competing with much success. We have fielded some of our largest ever teams in the weekly Queensland Athletics meets.

There are too many fine performances to list them all but one stands out. Adrian Keen has set Queensland over50 records in the throws pentathlon. There are four throws events: discuss, javelin, hammer and shot put. The fifth event is incorporated by introducing a hammer event with a heavier hammer.

Congratulations to all who competed; those who turn up week after week just to be part of the team as well as those who set personal bests or win medals.

Set a date for April 30. It is the May Day long weekend and, once again, Ashgrove Rangers will be hosting the South Burnett Rail-Trail relay out at Kingroy. This will be the third year of its running. We had two local teams last year and, this year, we hope to have more.

This year will be an extra special event as Queensland Athletics have announced that it will be the Queensland Road Relay Championship.
