The Box Hill Athletics track will be closed for resurfacing from Monday, November 13. It is expected the resurfacing will take about three months.
We apologise for any inconvenience, but the long-term gain will be worth the short-term pain!
The gym and club rooms will remain open throughout this period and club members will have use of the Nunawading track until the completion of works at our track.
Box Hill teams performed extremely well at the Victorian relay championships at Lakeside Stadium on 11 November. All 16 of our teams made the final, winning two gold medals, seven silver medals and picking up five fourth placings.
Our open women’s 4x400m team qualified second fastest for the final that it to be held at the Zatopek 10 meet on December 14.
Congratulations to all thos who took part and thank you to Andrew Wilcox, Colin Woods, Chris Tayler and all the others who helped with organising the teams.
