Jordan has taken 1s off the record, with it now standing at 2m 36.0. Awesome effort Jordan. On each running day Taylah Sengul has broken one of the throws records for the U13G age group and once again she is closing in on not only state records but national records also. So far this Taylah has added the following to her string of exceptional club records:
As you can see, Taylah has not simply snuck passed but produced some amazing performances so early in the season to smash these earlier records (which were very impressive in themselves). Nicole Dahlberg (Shot Put, Javelin, 90H, 200H), Emily Jordan (100m, 200m, Long Jump, High Jump), Louise Marvin (400m, 800m, 1500m, 3000m), Rebecca Houston (200H, 1500W), Mahsa Javam (Discus) have all set a number of records for the U17G. Anthony Baddock (100m, 400m, 200H, Long Jump, Triple Jump), Sam Shepherd (800m, Discus), Jay Ridge (100H, High Jump), Maeva-nui Teina (Shot Put) have done likewise in the U17B. For details, see our Records page. __________________________________________________ [Updated: 23 October 2008] Despite some technical difficulties and the threat of an electrical storm, our Celebration Day was a success last Sunday afternoon. We would like to thank everyone for attending, your patience and your assistance. Trialing a new format for the first time this year, we had 76 athletes participating across the Winston Hills Mall 100m Gift and the Mall Mile. Congratulations to all that participated from youngest to oldest who all were very excited at the prospect of becoming the overall club champion. Our Winston Hills Mall 100m Gift winners and placegetters were as follows:
In the grand finale challenge, Adam Mylonas, from the U12 Boys just managed to catch Abbey Radford on the finish line to claim the overall champion status. The Mall Mile saw some sensational running from some of the clubs top distance runners. In the end it was another of the Intermediate Boys who came out ahead, with Nicholas Shiel from the U11 Boys showing determination and a great deal of stamina to come home ahead of Adam Mylonas (2nd) and Shinelle Baker (3rd). We look forward to presenting each of our placegetters with their Winston Hills Mall gift vouchers at the start of our next running day. The threat of the storm meant we had to postpone the 4 x 100m Relay Challenge and also the Adults 60m "sprint". We hope to reschedule these to a later date. Thank you to all our sponsors who made this day possible, in particular:
