WMR Athletic Sports Report

Wednesday 10th October - Moonee Ponds Athletic Centre

This year we had the largest number of qualifiers for quite some time. The conditions on the day were not ideal with wind influencing times and performances. It was once again terrific to have a number of parents able to attend and support their family members and the team in general.

All team members stepped up to the challenge of this high-level event and showed determination to give of their best. There were some PB’s achieved and lessons to be learnt in terms of preparation. A win on the day moves students into the State Finals on Monday 20^th October, so we wish Xander, Sienna and Asher all the best in their events.
