Maze entertains club champions

Amelia in action.

Croydon Little Athletics joined Yarra Ranges Athletics at Hedgend Maze for the cross country presentation day.

Warm, sunny conditions allowed for maximum use of the venue by all members and their families in a fantastic end to the cross country season.

After a fun relay around the grounds, athletes were awarded trophies for champions and attendance.

Club champions were Mitchell Pointon and Zoe Clarke.

The president’s awards went to Nathan Murden and Aemelia Stevenson.

The most sought-after and always deserved award, the Family ‘That’s What Cross County is all About’ Award went to the Willey family.

Round 1 of the track and field season starts on 6 October.

On Saturday 24 August, seven Yarra Ranges athletes will represent Victoria at the Australian Cross Country Championships in Wollongong, New South Wales.

This a fantastic result for the small club.

Selected athletes are Grace Muller (Women Under-20), Harry Norman (Men Under-20), James Laven (Men Under-20), Mia Strudley (Women Under-16), Maddie Laven (Women Under-16), Kiara Flavel (Women Under-16) and Zoe Clarke (Girls Under-10).

The club will hold its 50th anniversary celebration cocktail evening at Eastern Golf Club on Friday 15 November.

The club welcomes all athletes of any age or ability.
