Once again we showed the value of filling all events and were able to march to a comprehensive win , confirming second place on the ladder. As the weeks go by the team only seems to be getting stronger, with Jane Tulloch and Anna Thomson running great races after missing the earlier round.

Special mention must be given to Sandy Milner, who graciously refused to upset Cathy Freeman and pass her in the 400 relay. (Well, we think that is a good enough excuse anyway).

Considering that the club won three of the nine events we fielded athletes in, it is disappointing that several events still can’t be filled. At the moment it would appear that the club only has one or two runners capable of running under 24 seconds for a 200, and can anyone throw a discus 38 metres?

A highlight was the storming finish by Micheal Jones in the 800. Appearing boxed in with 250 to go, Michael held his nerve to surge past the field and was never challenged down the straight

We have the athletes within our club to take on and defeat any team in the competition, we should still be aiming to reach the final, and nothing short of a victory in every round should be our goal.
