WARM weather and a holiday vibe greeted athletes to week five of the Yarra Ranges Athletics summer season. Athletes made the most of the calm conditions with many recording multiple personal bests throughout the evening.
Great fields and friendly competition produced some exceptional performances and club records.
One of the nights highlights was the smiles and laughter heard during the ‘little kids’ race, an event held each night for the younger siblings of club athletes, with parents hopefully joining in next time. The Yarra Ranges Athletics club will be hosting the Croydon Little Athletics club next week, in what is sure to be a fun morning of athletics.
The senior athletes took to the track on Saturday afternoon with hail stones and stormy, cold weather which made for a difficult and unpleasant start. However, Lee Taylor and Mark Beavis battled through, scoring some very good results.
The little athletes achieved some outstanding results, with Erika Bedyn, Tristan and Joe Fishburn debuting for the club.
Good luck to club members competing in the Victorian All Schools Track and Field Championships next weekend at Lakeside Stadium.
