In a magnificent set of results for the squad members who attended SSV State today :

Thanks to the parents who put in the effort to take kids to training and put your trust in my coaching methods & systems.

1st 12-13 girls : Ariana Dimartino - 200m (State Record & PB)
1st, final 9-10 boys : Kai Brooks - 80m hurdles (State record & PB), 100m (PB)
1st, 1st 9-10 boys : Drewin Thirupathy - 100m, 200m (2x PB's)
1st, 1st 12-13 girls : Isabelle Thokchom - discus, shot
1st 9-10 girls : Natalie Ramirez - discus (PB)
2nd, 2nd 12-13 girls : Portia Miller - LJ, hurdles (PB)
2nd 9-10 boys : Dallas Fernando - Discus (PB)

Many of the above athletes competed in the separate SSV State trials and are going to Nationals in Dec.

Unbelievably proud of everyone today. 2x State records & 8x PB's. The ability to perform in competition and produce PB's at State is EXACTLY what junior athletes are supposed to do ... but can be frustratingly difficult at times.

Great results and especially well done to the U13's competing as junior age athletes in U14's.

Hopefully I didn't miss anyone and got all the results right. Unsure at All Schools what athletes did PB's. If anything is incorrect pls let me know and I will amend.

I don't coach every event for all the above athletes but I coach them in at least 1 event and/or they come to gym : Ben McKay, Allan Poynton, Wayne Dyball, David Thompson & others.

See you at the track and be your best!
