2026-27 Week 5 Update

Week 5 – rain and plenty of South Barwon Spirit! Once again, the rain gods tested us, but our resilient athletes got out there, gave it their best and had a great time! There was plenty of cheering across the age groups, and we loved seeing our kids supporting one another. 👏

Well done to all our athletes, parents and volunteers for keeping spirits high despite the weather! You can see some photos from Saturday on our website gallery HERE.

Uniform tittings for this season have now concluded. Please refer to the Uniform Shop for sizing. If you have old uniform that you would like to donate or sell, please see the Stack Team App or post on the GLAC Secondhand Buy and Sell Facebook page HERE.

Seniors: Georgia P
Georgia ran a 2 second PB in her 800m at Seniors on Saturday which in itself is amazing, but even more amazing is that this was after she also ran a 7 second PB at the State Championships. This is a 9 second improvement since October this year!
