Round 8 - Combined Event Championship - This Saturday 6. December
Our round 8 marks the Mentone Combined Event Championship for all our U9-U17 athletes. This is a good preparation for everyone who is participating in the State Combined Event championships on the 17. or 18. January and an opportunity to experience combined events for everyone else. Athletes who participate in all 5 events will have their total points tallied and the top 3 finishers in each age group will be awarded medals on our presentation day at the end of the season. We will run a dedicated event program.
U6 - U8 families: Please arrive by 8:15am for warm-up and for an 8:30am start
U9 - U17 families: Please arrive by 9:45am for warm-up and for a 10:00am start
Duties:

Other info:
Please remember to bring hats, umbrellas, sunscreen and drink bottles and wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Drinks, snacks and BBQ will be available for purchase. Uniforms will be available for sale as well.
After the past few weeks, I’m not really surprised to see that once again, Saturday has the wettest weather forecast of the entire forecast period. Well, we’ve been lucky before. If it looks really bad, please keep an eye out for notifications.
Santa Sprints - next week Sunday!
Sunday 14. December is our Santa Sprints Christmas party! 4pm - 7pm, with handicapped races and a lot of fun for everyone.
Next week many of us will be at the State Relay Championships. There is no competition at Mentone on Saturday, we will meet on Sunday for the Santa Sprints instead. We wish all our athletes and teams who qualified for the State Relays all the best!
Go Mentone!
