Illawong Athletics

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

A reminder to all those people wanting to have a run, throw or jump, our fortnightly competition is on this week at the Ridge commencing at 6.30pm. 

The NSW 10000 metres Championships were held on Saturday, 6 October at The Crest. Illawong athletes put in outstanding performances and, in doing so, broke both the womens and mens club records.

Belinda Martin won the GOLD medal in the womens race in a time of 34 mins. 34.09 secs. It was a very comfortable win with the second placegetter 33 seconds behind Belinda. Mark Simpson finished 6th in the mens race in a time of 33 mins. 9.68 secs. This was a very good performance as Mark has only recently moved to this distance.

Congratulations to both Belinda and Mark.

Well done to the five intrepid athletes who competed, in spite of the weather, in the first T&F meet for this season. Thanks also to the (small) handful of officials who conducted the events. The results are:

Congratulations to our Imogen Stewart and the U/16 Women's 4 x 100m relay team (Emma Klasen, Michaela Gosgrove,Elena Delevaris and Isabellah Walker) on being selected as finalists for the Menai Districts Sports Awards.

A reminder to all our members.
