A three week break from athletes had Morrison reserve buzzing on Saturday as our little athletics competition
resumed after the Christmas break. Amazing numbers took to the track and field on Saturday morning to retest
themselves and strive for a PB or two.
Great to see a few new members as well. Thanks again to the age group leaders for another fantastic morning of
athletics.
Our senior team hosted round 8 of AVSL on Saturday afternoon. Near perfect conditions provided the perfect
setting for some spectacular performances from the 350+ athletes.
Yarra Ranges athletics had a great day with a big team generating great points. Zoe Clarke was top points scorer
after solid performances over 1500m, 400m, 100m and a strong 200m relay leg. Overall the club finished second
with our Open Women again leading the state in points scored.
Oliver Duncan broke the Open Men’s 110m Hurdle record running 20.34 over the 1.06m high hurdles. Brienna
Coffey broke a 10 year old club record with her time of 8 min 48.1 in the Under 14 girls 1500m walk. Bryan
Ackerly set a men’s 60+ 1500m record of 6 min 51.83
