While a small contingent of Marsh athletes traveled to Bendigo to represent the Centre at the State Multi Event we still conducted our Centre meet at Masons Lane with our athletes once again producing some impressive results.

Due to the Australia Day long weekend, the Centre held a twilight meet on Friday night where a modified program was conducted.  Congratulations to Daniel Lalor who equaled his brother Jack's Under 7 Shot Put record with a throw of 7.22m.

Best of luck to the 19 BMLAC athletes who will be competing in the State Multi Event next weekend in Bendigo.

Our first meet for 2010 saw attendance numbers a little down, perhaps due to many families still being on holidays.  Those athletes who took advantage of the early return to Little Aths produced some fantastic results. 

Nicholas Milton (Eagles) broke the first record for the New Year setting a new Under 13 Triple Jump record with a leap of 10.63 metres.

Next week's competition will be a twilight meet commencing at 5.30pm.  Please note that we will be conducting a modified program 1(b), this is an alteration from the advertised program in the handbook.

Centre singlets will be available for collection on Friday Night for the those athletes attending the State Multi Event the following weekend.

Happy New Year to all.  We hope you all enjoyed your break and are ready for the return of Little Aths this Saturday 16th January.

A few reminders for the New Year -

The first event will commence at 8.45am sharp, please ensure you arrive by 8.30am.  If athletes are late to track events they will be slotted into the last heat, only if there is room.  Athletes late to field events will join the competition at whichever round the event is up to.

With the hot weather  certainly upon us,  please ensure that your child/ren are well hydrated throughout the week and that drink bottles, sun hats & sunscreen are bought to little aths.  Athletes are encouraged to take hats & drink bottles to field events with them.
