State Track and Field Wrap-Up and Centre Training

First, a quick note that we’ll cover Hurdles, Discus, Triple Jump and our U6-8 session at Centre Training tomorrow afternoon at 5pm.

Congratulations to our inspiring 37 Mentone athletes that competed in near perfect conditions this weekend at the State Championships held at Knox Athletics Centre. State Championships are tough and even just qualifying is a massive achievement. For some success, for some, learnings to take into the future, for others unlucky with sickness/injuries. We are, as always so proud of your resilience, sportsmanship and passion for what you do.

A special mention to our U17 athletes that have competed at their last State Championships for Mentone Little Athletics. We wish you the best for the future.

Lastly…

These events cannot run with a great support network. A round of applause for Ange Fragiacomo and other competition coordinators for their tireless hours preparing not only for the State Championships but all our summer competitions.

Go Mentone!
