Rain forces athletes indoors
RAIN forced week eight of Camperdown Little Athletics competition indoors last Friday night.
While the heavens cleared in time to complete events at the track, earlier torrential rain meant that for the safety of all athletes, organisers opted to hold the night’s events in the stadium.
About 30 athletes were put through their paces in a skills-based session which was well supported by a group of enthusiastic parents.
Many thanks to those who filled in for the six committee members who were unavailable on the night.
With only three weeks left of the pre-Christmas Friday nights and the centre’s Christmas themed night, organisers are hopeful of a return to the track for this week’s session.
For all those who place canteen orders, these will be held over to this week.
Anyone who has any concerns or alterations around this is asked to contact Kristy.
Entries for the Region Track and Field championships to be held in Ballarat on February 10 and 11 will open in mid-December.
As entries close prior to the return to the track in early February, please be mindful of placing your entries early.
Track and field weekend is a great opportunity for athletes to try a new track (synthetic) and to make new friends from other centres.
Entry costs will be confirmed by LAVic in the coming weeks.
The parent helpers roster will be placed on our social media in the coming days.
Sessions run much quicker and easier with support so parents/guardians please consider placing your names on the roster to help on the night.
The committee looks forward to having athletes and families back this Friday at the Camperdown College sports precinct oval from 4.15pm.
