YARRA RANGES ATHLETICS
Croydon Little Athletics Club joined with athletes from Yarra Ranges Athletics for a fun day of interclub athletics at Morrison Reserve, Mount Evelyn, on Saturday.
A modified program ensured a fast, smooth program and a good range of events for athletes.
The senior athletes competed in the 12th and final round of AV Shield for the season.
A great turnout of athletes ensured four teams qualified for the final on Sunday 12 February at Lakeside Stadium.
Congratulations to the Open Women, Open Men, Under 16s Women and Under 16s Men teams.
Some standout performance from many athletes and a few club records to round of a great AV Shield season.
Still plenty of events for athletes to compete in prior to Vic Champs including Rare Air, Vic Milers and Box Hill Classic.
