Sat 23 Nov 13 : Club Pentathlon
The Club Pentathlon is this Saturday 23 November from 2pm. All registered athletes can participate and there is no need to register – just show up on the day. The program can be found here
The Pentathlon will be very similar to any of our Saturday competitions but athletes will receive points based on performance in each event. The total number of points will determine how an athlete finishes in his or her age group. All athletes who participate will receive a medal and certificate of performance with the top 3 receiving a 1st, 2nd or 3rd medal. Results will be announced on 7 Dec at Windsor Park which will be our last date of competition prior to Christmas.
Hurdles races are prominent in the program and we will be having extra hurdles practice this Thursday from 6pm, as we did last night. Hurdles will also be on the track hopefully from about 1pm on Saturday for those who would like some training prior to the competition. We will also have some long jump training this Saturday from 1pm.
We have 30 new hurdles which have been donated to us by Mayne Harriers Track Club – this club trains at Windsor Park each Tuesday and Thursday from 7pm. Many thanks to the Mayne Harriers for this very generous donation which will allow our programs tom move even quicker.
City North v Aspley – we will be having a competition with the Aspley Little Athletics club on Sat 30 Nov at Windsor Park from 2pm. More details will be provided soon.

Sat 9 Nov 13 : Regionals
Regional Relays – Saturday 9 Nov 2013 – Bowden Park, Geebung
There will be no competition at Windsor Park this Saturday 9 Nov as the Regional Relays are being held at Bowden Park, Geebung. The program starts at 8:30am and the schedule and list of entries can be found here. Please check the list and if you cannot attend an event please respond by email asap as teammates in the running relays are relying on athletes to be there. Please arrive at least ½ hour before the event. Most athletes have been placed in the relays that they nominated for. In a few instances because of numbers this did not occur but those athletes will likely get the opportunity to run in slightly older age group relays which will be advised on the day of the event.
The program for this event can be found here, and the Footwear rules can be found here
Full uniform must be worn at Regional Relays – shorts, top with registration number, age patch and IGA and Medibank badge sewn on. Skins may only be worn inside out – without the logo showing. Use of spikes is limited and for those age groups that can wear spikes they must be only put on at the event. Normal running shoes need to be worn to the event. Details of the spike rule is attached.
Our normal Saturday competition will resume at Windsor Park on 16 November.
Relay Training – Tuesday and Thursday this week
We will be undertaking relay training tonight – Tuesday, and Thursday at Windsor Park from 6pm to 7:15pm. All athletes, not just those competing at Regional Relays, can attend.
Please be at Bowden Park, Geebung, ½ hour before first scheduled event.
We will be setting up shade structures early Saturday morning. Any parents who can assist with setting up our tents please be at the ground from 7:30am. There could be a few brief showers this coming Saturday. This will not prevent the competition from proceeding.

The draw will take place at about 2:15pm. All athletes are encouraged to bring a friend with them to experience Little Athletics.

Training Tonight
Training will be proceeding tonight – Thurs, and we will be working on relay training. Training is held every Tues and Thurs from 6pm to 7:15pm
Saturday Training – High Jump and Long Jump 1pm
We will again be holding High Jump (flop and scissors) and Long Jump training for all age groups from 1pm this Saturday 2 November. This will be before the start of the program which will commence at 2pm so this will allow about an hour for high jump and long jump training. There has been good attendance for this additional training so we will be continuing with it each Saturday from 1pm.
