FRIDAY'S PROGRAM SHARKS UNLEASHED SHARKS @ SOUTH EAST REGIONALS
Good evening Sharkies.
At the time of writing, Friday's forecast is not looking great with a lot of rain to fall, beginning Thursday and continuing through the weekend. We will monitor the situation and make a call about Friday's program as early as possible and publish on our Facebook pages. Don't worry, contingency plans are in place for the 'Sharks Unleashed' Long Hurdles, should we have to cancel Friday.
FRIDAY'S PROGRAM
PLEASE NOTE: Friday's program includes the Sharks Unleashed Long Hurdles.
SHARKS @ SOUTH EAST REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
WHAT A BIG WEEKEND !!!
A round of applause to all, our athletes, our supporters and our committee for getting out and giving the weekend one red hot crack. To the parents and supporters who were there for their athletes and those who jumped the fence and assisted us on the track, thank you. A special mention must be made to recognise the efforts of:
- Simon (our Treasurer) for days on the track as well as handling the overall logistics.
- Coach Judy, who spent two days in the blazing sun controlling the track program.
- Mikaylah and Liam for assisting on the track
- Marc for loading up and bringing tents to the stadium early so we could set up on Saturday.
- Tracy, Nikki and Jez for handling Team Manager roles over the two days.
Incredibly, we had 50 athletes qualify for the LAQ State Championships, and they took home 42 Gold, 33 Silver, and 16 Bronze medals. But our other athletes, please be encouraged: many athletes only JUST missed the qualification standard, so keep it up and aim for qualification next season. You can see the list of qualified athletes here:
If your athlete has qualified for states, you can see a lot of the key information at this site:
We will take your nomination and payment at the clubhouse once we receive LAQ's full, qualified athlete list within the next week, but we need to know by early March.
Also available for purchase is State Championship Souvenir merchandise - you can order online here (please note - this merchandise is NOT compulsory):
Photos from the weekend:
Springwood had contributed to having Jo Harlow attend and take some great photos - I have trawled and downloaded most Springwood shots (only web quality) here, especially if you don't want to give your email.
You can also go directly to the site and download your favourite photos in print quality here:
