Over the weekend (12th & 13th Nov 2022) 34 of our Keilor Athletes competed in the State Combined event.
The Combined Events consisted of five events for U/9 – U/12 athletes, six events for U/13’s and seven events for U/14, U/15, U/16 & U/17 athletes. The Combined competition requires a strength in a variety of disciplines and endurance to compete over a long time. Each athlete competes in all events and points are awarded for each event. After their final 800m event the points are then tallied for an overall winner.
For many of our athletes this was their first experience at the combined event, especially Keilor U/9 athletes experienced their 1st ever State event. They all showed a strong determination to strive towards personal best performances in each of their events. There were many, many PB’s over the weekend. We hope this is the start of a long association with Little Athletics state events.
Our older athletes, U/13 - U/16 have continued to perform at this State level year after year we achieved 10 top 10 places in the state. These strong performances are a credit to their persistence and training over the years to achieve their best. They are a great example for our younger athletes.
Josephine Ho U/9 led the charge in our 800m races and gave all our Keilor supporters a reason to get on our feet and cheer her gutsy 800m run win on Saturday. This was followed by 6 more very impressive 800m wins on Sunday with Stephanie Clark U/11, Cody Levidi U/11, Dolly Negi U/12, Zulq Haider U/14, Mitchell Iannello U/15 & Mark Mavrakis U/15 all taking line honours in their respective 800m races. Sensational runs. We must be doing something right at our centre coaching sessions!
Fantastic results Team Keilor – We hope to see more of our athletes try this event next season.
A very big thank you to all our parents & families. Your support of our Keilor team and completing the duties needed to ensure we can run these events for our children is what makes our Keilor club so special. THANK YOU.
Go Team Keilor.
