This week we have a few Handicap races in the line-up, a great way to level out the field with every athlete’s PB used to calculate their handicap, in theory if all run at their best we should have some very close finishes!! We will have handicapped 100m races in age groups with an exciting final, then a special event of a 400m across all ages. Program and pb’s will be uploaded into Team App mid-week.

Accumulation of points for centre champion awards will only be for field events this week.

The duty roster is a makeup roster so if you have missed one or need to do an extra to ensure your athlete can compete in championship week, this is your chance. Listen out for the announcements where we are short and pitch in where you can. Don’t forget to sign the duty register in the pavilion.
