Who’s ready for another week of competition at Landy Field? Hopefully the families of our 8+ athletes have been able to log into the ResultsHQ accounts and see their times and distances for Week 4. It’s great to see so many personal bests already!

Athlete of the Week

Each week we’ll pick out an Athlete of the Week based on effort and attitude, who will receive a $20 Rebel Sport Gift Voucher.

Will F (U9B) was our South Barwon Little Athlete of the Week on October 22. Will F ran a great 800m, achieving a personal best of 3:07.62.

This week’s events

We’re back to Program 2 this week, which means Walks for athletes aged 9 and up. For the Walks events all competitors need to wear shorts that are a minimum of 10cm above the knee – no leggings or trackpants.

Volunteers

Many thanks to the families who have signed up for volunteer duties over the past couple of weeks. We’ve still got some spots on the calendar to be filled before Christmas – every family should have done at least two duties by this date. If you haven’t already chosen your spots, please come by the South Barwon area this Saturday and add your name to the whiteboard.

This week’s general volunteers are:

• B. McDougall
• Casey family
• B. Pola
• M. Seitshiro
• A. Gray
• Hargreaves family
• C. Feldman
• L. Mckenna (OnTrackers)

Our chiefs for this week are:

• C. Cannon and S. O’Neill (Long Jump)
• J. English (Back Straight)

Can all these volunteers please meet at the South Barwon tent at 8am.

South Barwon is also on set-up duty this week, so we also require additional helpers to arrive at about 7.30am to get this done. If you can help out with set-up, please leave us a message on Facebook or email us on southbarwonathletics@gmail.com.

Uniform update

We will have most South Barwon uniform items available for sale on Saturday. Size 6 and 8 shorts are still on back-order. We will contact families who have already purchased these shorts as soon as they become available.

See you on Saturday!
