Final Results "hot of the press"

Nana ..... 200m - After crashing over the finish line to finish 3rd in her heat (26.44sec PB) and "skinning herself from shoulder to knee", Nana has shown everyone her "toughness" by winning the SILVER Medal in the final (26.62sec).

100m - won her heat in 12.97sec and finished with the BRONZE Medal in the final (13.03sec)

Relays - 4 x 100m - BRONZE, 4 x 200m - BRONZE, 8 x 100m - BRONZE & Long Jump relay - GOLD.

We are so proud of your efforts Nana and are looking forward to you scorching down our new track very soon

Ella ..... Multis - finished a very credible 8th in the Multi events and ran a PB of 13.66sec to win her heat of the 100m. Struck a little trouble and a couple of NT's in the SP !

100m - 3rd in heat (13.90sec) and 10th final (14.00sec after missing the start badly ... a few nerves!!! - the sole Victorian in her age group to make the final) - a great effort !!!

Relays - 4 x 100m - 4th, 4 x 200m - 5th & 8 x 100m - BRONZE.

This has been a fantastic experience for both girls and I'm sure they have returned "hungry" to continue in their pursuits in the future

Two of our young "up and coming stars" will head off to Darwin this week to represent Victoria in the Primary Schools National Track & Field Championships.

Ella Squires will make her "Nationals" debut competing in the Multi event, 100m and relays ..... a huge program !

Nana-Adoma Owusu-Afriyie (who also made the team last year) will compete in the 100m, 200m & relays !

Whilst most of us are just warming up for the new T&F season, I know Ella & Nana have both been putting in alot of preparation over the winter for this weekend and we wish them the very best of luck and hope that their dedication pays off with a good result .... a PB or two and enjoy the excitment of "Nationals" !!!
