Last Saturday, approximately 80 Mentone teams competed at the Region Relay Carnival. We had perfect conditions down at Duncan Mackinnon Reserve and all of our superstar athletes performed brilliantly! If you haven't had a chance yet, head over to our Facebook page to see some great photo's from the day

There were some excellent performances, medals, records broken and as always, our athletes showed outstanding sportsmanship towards their teammates and competitors. We're very proud of them and all their efforts.

A big congratulations to our 25 medal winning teams, including 6 Gold, 11 Silver and 8 Bronze.

Finally, this day could not have happened without an enormous amount of help. A big thank you to all of the parents who performed their duties, Age Group Managers who have coordinated their teams in the lead up and on the day, Scott, Mat and Nige for taking on Key Official roles, and to our amazing Mentone Team Managers, Sophie and Lucy, who always go above and beyond to support us
 
Go Mentone!
