The Centre had 31 athletes represented at the Western Metro Region Track & Field Carnival over the weekend at Goldsworthy Reserve, Corio.
With athletes representing Altona, Brimbank, Corio, Geelong, Gisborne, Melton, South Melbourne, South Coast, Werribee and Williamstown, our athletes were up against the Region’s best.
The Centre won an amazing 16 Gold, 12 Silver and 10 Bronze medals.
Bridie Shanahan, in her final Region Carnival, won 4 Gold medals, winning the Shot Put, Javelin, Long Jump and Triple Jump. Skyla Berryman dominated on the track, winning Gold in the 70m, 100m, 200m with younger sister Mya crossing the finish line first in the 70m and 100m. Nicholas Mai was in sensational form, as he glided over the hurdles, claiming victory in the 80m and 200m hurdles. Dannielle Ide was rewarded with a Gold medal in the 300m Hurdles. Mackenzie Estlick flew down the straight to record a convincing win the 100m while Sam White also notched up a win in the 1500m. Alexis Farrell threw a PB in the Shot Put to take first place and Eni Olaitan ran a magnificent 200 metres to be presented with the Gold medal.
All these athletes have been rewarded for their performances with an automatic qualifier to the State Track & Field Championships to be held at Lakeside Stadium on March 11 and 12.
Little Athletics Victoria will announce further progressions later in the week, and with a large number of 2nd and 3rd place-getters, Bacchus Marsh should be well represented at the State Championships.
Thank you to all parents who completed their duties over the weekend and special thanks to all those who completed additional duties as required. Thank you to Leon Whitehand who was the Chief Official at Shot Put for both days of competition. A big thank you to Karen Stewart who assisted Linda as Team Manager over the entire weekend. A massive thanks to everyone who supported our athletes and sent messages of encouragement to our kids.
