Just like that, our 2023-24 athletics season is coming to an end. Our last day of competition at Landy Field is the Geelong LAC Stiegen Championship Day this Saturday (2 March). We’re looking forward to seeing our South Barwon athletes shine in their chosen track and field events!
OnTrackers
The OnTrackers program will continue with its usual format on Championships Day and will be followed by presentations for our Under 6 & Under 7 athletes.
March Past
As part of Championships Day, all clubs will take part in the Annual March Past parade. Could we ask that all our athletes come dressed in their correct South Barwon uniform and be ready by 8am to assemble in their age groups. The March Past will begin at 8.15am, followed by the national anthem. Competition for U8-U17s begins at around 8.45am.
Events
On Championships Day, U8-U17 athletes can only participate in the events that they have registered for. No changes can be made to the events on the day. As GLAC will be running almost all the events that have registered participants, this will be a longer day. There will be first, second and third place medals for each event, which will be presented as soon as possible after the events completion.
Lunchtime events
During the Championship Day lunchbreak there will be a parents relay – make sure you stick around to cheer on the South Barwon team!
There will also be a meeting about Cross Country for those interested in taking part during the winter season.
Volunteering
Thanks to all the families who have volunteered to help out this week. You can see a list of our volunteers below (note: if you have organised changes to your shift in the last 24 hours, this will not be reflected here).
Thank you
Finally, on behalf of the SBLAC committee, thank you so much for a wonderful season. We’ve loved seeing so many personal bests each week as each of our athletes continue to improve. Thank you to all the families who have helped out with volunteering on the long jump, on the back straight, and with so much organisation behind the scenes. We look forward to welcoming you all to our South Barwon presentation day later in the year – we’ll be in touch via our Facebook page for more details.
Thanks again, and have a great Championship Day!
