The long weekend was a really busy one for Sandy Little Aths members: many PB’s (personal bests) were achieved during the program on Saturday morning, and also at Lakeside where some of our members qualified for the State Track and Field Competition.
Pssst… if you did not see the results and efforts of our athletes at States, please read here. Leni took 17seconds off her PB. Incredible!
We congratulate all the athletes qualifying for states.

- Cross Country – as the Little Aths Season draws to a close, we want you to consider joining the cross country. It is a fabulous relaxed program, a great way for the kids to maintain fitness but also for those who want to keep competing. It takes place on a Saturday morning and is only 1 event each week at various local cross country locations. The distances for the kids are:
u6: 500m
u7-u8: 1km
u9-u10: 1.5km
u11-u12: 2km
u13-u16: 3km
- Mid Week Running – in support of the cross country season and the fact that many of you are enjoying the weekly run sessions we will continue to offer Wednesday running. The format will change slightly considering more fitness development and cross country preparation (e.g. beach runs & stair runs) but more information will follow.
- Lost Property – the basket is overflowing! We have two weeks left before we throw water bottles out and pass on the clothes to the charity shops. Please review lost property on Saturday.
- Schools bookings – is your school keen to hold their athletics carnival at the Sandy Aths track? If so, please let them know they can hire out some of our equipment to make it easier for them. We will offer ‘friends of the club rates’ if it is your school that needs to hire equipment. Let Nicole or Mike know if you would prefer her to contact the school directly.
- Concierge anyone? The Club is seeking a few local people to help us when school’s hire our equipment for their athletics carnival. The job requires you to open the shed and pass out the equipment the school is hiring, then come back and receive it all when they are finished. We are paying a small fee for this role and happy to discuss this further with anyone interested. Great job for any one looking for local part time work.
