Centre records set. This week Under 11 athlete Gabby
Byrnes (Blues) broke a 25 year old record, setting a new
Centre Shot Put record of 8.79 metres. Nicholas Milton

Championships has now been finalised - apologies for the
delay.

Over 100mm of
rain fell in Bacchus Marsh last Wed/Thurs causing severe
flooding throughout the township and presenting us with a
heavy running track this week. Although the times were
a little slower we still witnessed some very closely
contested races. Our kids will certainly appreciate
the synthetic track at Region Championships this weekend and
should record some personal best times.
Daniel Lalor
(Boomerangs) set a new Under 7 Discus record this week with
a superb throw of 21.47m. Well done Daniel.

Thank you to all athletes who submitted their
