ROUND 2 OF SHIELD COMPETITION AT MT. EVELYN ON SATURDAY WEEK
Round 2 of shield competition will be held at the Yarra Ranges track at Mt. Evelyn on Saturday week, October 24.
This is the first time this track has been used for Shield Competition and we hope that all available athletes can take part and try out this new facility.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
There are a number of ways that you can help the Club and help the summer competition run smoothly. All help no matter how great or small is highly appreciated.
1. We need volunteers to help out on shield competition days. This may involve helping to record results or measuring throws or raking a sandpit. If you can help please let us know and we will organise a roster. Even if you can just help once for a few hours, let us know.
2. We need team managers! This is not an onerous task, but it does mean being present for the whole afternoon on most weeks of shield competition. Please let us know if you can help.
3. The white zone needs a scorer. This is a paid position. ($80 for each round of shield). If you are interested we can send you the job description.

RESULTS FROM ROUND 1 OF SHIELD COMPETITION
Numbers were down for the first round of shield competition. It is important that we have as many athletes as possible competing in the early rounds of shield to make sure our teams qualify for the finals next February. We understand that some athletes have school athletics at this time of the year or have exams coming up soon, but if you are available, please try to make it to shield competition to score points for your team. The results below are from the AV website, please let us know if there are any mistakes.
MEN OPEN DIVISION 1
We finished 2nd in division 1 this week. In men’s division 1 we can have up to 6 scoring athletes in the 100, 400 and 1500m and three scoring athletes in other events. We only filled our quota in one event this week. Best performances were from Will Potter winning the 1500m, Joel Pocklington the pole vault and David Grant in the javelin. James Baumgartner competed in four individual events and a relay to be our top points scorer.
