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!
