City North Little Athletics - Week of 19 Nov
Training - Tues and Thurs
Despite the incredible weather over the weekend the ground has dried out and will be ready for the training sessions on Tues and Thurs from 6pm to 7:15pm. We will have a number of coaches in attendance.
A few photos of the ground on Saturday can found in our previous article Sat 17 Nov EVENT CANCELLED page. Given the amount of water on the ground and the threat of further storms the competition had to be abandoned. Updates were posted on our website - a power outage prevented email notification.
This Saturday's competition will be the same as what we were going to do last Saturday except we will be adding a Triple Jump event to the program for the u13s and up.
State Relay Champs
The program for the State Relay champs to be held on 15 December can be found here as is the list of athletes that qualified can be found here. If anyone cannot attend please let me know asap.
