🟢🟡 WEEK 17 COMPETITION – WEDNESDAY 4TH MARCH 🟡🟢

We are officially down to our FINAL 3 WEEKS of the season 😳 and let us tell you… some of these Age Champion races are closer than ever. In several age groups there are only a handful of points separating 1st, 2nd and 3rd — so every single event matters from here on in.

🌦 Weather Watch

There is a little bit of rain currently predicted for tomorrow afternoon. As always, please keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates between now and competition time. Pending conditions, we are planning to go ahead.

🔄 Rotation B – Optional Walks (Final Trial)

We’re running our final Rotation B for the season – our optional walks week.

The feedback from our previous trial was overwhelmingly positive (thank you for rolling with the changes!), so we’re giving it one more run before the season wraps up. This will allow us to properly review everything at our end-of-season committee wrap up.

For athletes in the 9s – 13s+:

You will have the option to compete in:

Your designated Race Walk
OR
An alternative 100m race

👉 Athletes CANNOT do both. It is one or the other.
👉 All athletes will still have the opportunity to earn their points.

⏰ Important Timing

Race Walks begin at 4:15pm
Athletes competing MUST be marshalled by 4:10pm
If warming up, please arrive with enough time to complete this independently prior to marshalling.

Athletes in the 6s–8s, and those not competing in the walks, will warm up as usual from 4:15pm.

🏃‍♀️ Track & Field Events

Outside of walks:

200m across all age groups
Field events will be running as scheduled and, as always, are expected to be hotly contested.

With Age Champion points this tight, we’re expecting big efforts across the board.

🌭 Canteen & BBQ

Our canteen and BBQ will be open and running.
As the season winds down, stock levels will naturally reduce as we sell through remaining items — so if you’ve got a favourite, don’t leave it too late!

🙌 Parent Helpers – We Need You

This week our designated helper groups are:

10s parents
12s parents

However — we are putting the call out to everyone.

We will have several committee members away this week which means we’ll be a little stretched. If you’ve ever thought “I could probably help for 30 minutes” — this is your week. Even small pockets of help make a huge difference and help us finish the season strong.

👕 Sponsorship Polos

By now we estimate around 90% of athletes have collected their free club sponsorship polos — and we are LOVING seeing them being worn before competition and even out and about around town. That visibility matters and we appreciate it.
