We’re back for another big Wednesday afternoon and this week we’re giving the hurdles a little breather! Instead, athletes will be hitting the track for short sprints (70m & 100m) and taking on their distance events — longer pack starts for our younger age groups and the middle-distance 800m for our older groups. All field events will be out and pumping too, so there’s something for everyone.
This is our 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵, so it’s a fantastic chance for athletes to get in some last-minute practice and confidence-building reps.
𝗖𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻 & 𝗕𝗕𝗤 are on as always — and keep an eye out for our 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯-𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗷𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝘂𝗽𝘀, currently setting nicely in the canteen fridge!

We emailed yesterday, but here’s a quick rundown. After the first four weeks, we noticed parent helper numbers have been a bit light with less set-up required. To help share the load more fairly, we’ve refreshed our roster.
From now on, 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸, and each age group will only be rostered on 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀.
This week, parents from the 𝟲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟭𝟭𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽𝘀 will be helping with 𝘀𝗲𝘁-𝘂𝗽 (𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟰:𝟭𝟱𝗽𝗺), 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻.
We really appreciate your support — it keeps the afternoon smooth, safe, and enjoyable for all our athletes.
The full 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 will be posted alongside this announcement.
See you all at Harris Park! Let’s make it another great afternoon of athletics
