Brenda 200m bend

The weather was pleasant at Doncaster. We ended the round in 9th place with a score of 19542 points.

This round’s Premier Division ladder  was DIV, EAG, GHY, MEN, WEN, ESS, BOH, SBE, WES and CHI.

After 4 rounds, without counting the additional power play points for EAG and WES the cumulative ladder is EAG 38, DIV 37, ESS 28, GHY 25, WES 21, WEN 21, MEN 17, SBE 14, BOH 13 and CHI 6.

We welcome Kayleigh Samuel & Daniel Johnson to their first round of AVSL and wish them all the best for the rest of the season.

In all we had 32 scoring athletes and they completed a total of 62 individual scoring events. We will need more athletes going forward to maintain our position. Round 5 is still open until Midday Wednesday.

This round we had 12 athletes do three or more scoring events, 6 athletes completed two scoring events and 14 completed one scoring event.

Thank-you to the following athletes who completed three individual scoring events: Hayley B, Holly G, Amy G, Janice H, Brenda C, Jacob B-M, Ethan Y, Ryder D, Mal H, Alan B, Wayne B and Stan P.

Thanks to Honour T, Kayleigh S, Maddi H, Dan B, Callan J & Phil D for completing two individual scoring events.

Ryder made an impressive debut in the 2000m steeplechase, breaking a Club Record & running an Aust T&F Champs U15 qualifier. Some dazzling 800s today; Leanne Ellis just missing a Nat Q by .12 with her PB of 2:19.12. New fast PBs to Matthew Musarra 2:01, Emerson Arnold 2:06 & Callan Jordan 2:09.  Callan also got a PB in the triple jump.

Club Helpers

Thanks to Aleisha Deans for helping me with the lap scoring for the Steeplechase.

Next Round, at Aberfeldie, we have duty at long jump. I mistakenly allocated Petra to two timeslots. There is now a vacancy at 2:00pm. My preference is that someone who isn’t on the roster, and has competed at AVSL, volunteers. I will allocate someone on Wednesday if no-one volunteers.

Helen Pelns, who was listed at 3:00pm, would like to swap her timeslot with someone from Round 8, as she won’t be there. Let me know if you can swap with Helen.
