Congratulations to Imogen Stewart and Belinda Martin on finishing 2nd and 4th respectively in the NSW 3000m Championships. A terrific effort.

All our relay teams are being finalised now for State Relays later this month. Please register immediately to be considered for a team.

Coach Owen Stewart's runners have been rewriting the record books lately. A few weeks ago Belinda Martin and Mark Simpson set club records in the NSW 10000 metre Championships. On Saturday, 2 November it was Imogen Stewart's turn - setting a new club record in the 5000 metres with a time of 16 mins 26.64 secs. This is a fantastic time for a junior. It was a fascinating race with Imogen's mother, Belinda, coming in second - also in a very fast time. How often would you see a daughter-mother 1-2 finish in a high quality 5000 metre race? Congratulations to Coach Owen and his very fast daughter Imogen.

Here are the results for the third of the Summer Track and Field Series:

Only three weeks to state relays and the long process of organising and selecting teams is about to commence.

We are back at the Ridge this Thursday night with our fortnightly meeting.
