A bright, sunny morning at Morrison Reserve, Mt Evelyn created the perfect conditions for some exciting Little Athletics action. Yarra Ranges Athletics athletes made the most of the competition to put in some exceptional performances throughout the morning. Countless PBs recorded as the athletes progress towards PB award medals.
Good luck to all relay teams competing at the EMR Region Relay Championships next weekend.
The senior team was back in action for round 4 of AVSL. Another dominant display from YRA’s Open Women to top the scoring ladder again.
A new club record for Anne-Marie Ebbels, breaking her own 50+ Shot Put record with a mighty 7.90m put. Results are:
