City North Little Athletics
Saturday 15 September 2012
The program for this Saturday can be found here. To ensure a prompt start please try to arrive prior to 2pm. Many thanks to all parents who helped out last week. We will of course continue to need help with age marshaling and assistance at the events and finish line.
Training - Tonight - Thursday 13 Sept
From 6pm to 7:15pm we will be training in High Jump flop, long jump, sprints, hurdles and walks - we will be having specialist walk training with a 700m time trial. There will also be 400m races from 7pm for interested athletes.
A special welcome needs to be extended to our new long jump coach - Martin Harvey. Martin is the former UK record holder in the long jump. His personal best of 8.33m would have won a silver medal at this year's London Olympics. Martin will be coaching regularly in long jump and will be bringing considerable expertise to our training sessions.
Aspley Pentathlon
Our first major out of centre competition will be the Aspley pentathlon scheduled for Sunday 14 October 2012 starting at 9am. This is an excellent event and if available all athletes should try to compete as it allows athletes to test their progress in a competitive but relaxed setting and against athletes from other clubs. Sign up sheets will be in the clubhouse from tonight. The cost is $10. Full uniform with all of the age patches, number etc must be worn. We usually have a big presence at this event and have a section of the ground for our athletes and families to sit. A flyer for this event can be found here
