City North Little Athletics - Week of 16 January 2012

Training

We will be having two training sessions this week at Windsor Park - Tues and Thurs nights from 6pm until about 7:15pm.  All athletes are encouraged to attend.  We will have a number of coaches in attendance and will be training in hurdles, sprints, distance, and some field events such as shot put, discus, javelin and high jump and walks on Thurs night.
 
The sessions will only be cancelled by rain if it is raining significantly at 6pm.  Otherwise we will proceed.  If in doubt please ring 0418 621 654.

Regional Championships

The Regional Championships, which is an individual event competition, will be held at the Arana Club from Friday 3 Feb to Sunday 5 Feb 2012.  Athletes can nominate in up to 5 events of their choice (as long as available in their age group) and the cost is $10.  Athletes only need to attend when their events are on.  All athletes are encouraged to compete - it is not about qualifying for the state championships but trying to achieve a personal best which is what an event like this gives every athlete an opportunity to do.  There will be no competition at Windsor Park that Saturday.
 
The program and the nomination form can be found by clicking here.  The deadline for nominating is 21 January and given that this is less than a week away nominations should be submitted soon.  This can be done at the club this at any training session this week, this coming Saturday or by return to this email.
 
Full uniform and number, age patch and IGA patch are required to participate in the Regional Championships. 

Update on High Jump and Long Jump Improvements

Thanks to the State Government and assistance from St Margarets we are constructing a new high jump and long jump area.  This should be completed in the next fortnight.
