2022-23 Wrap Up

Last Saturday, approximately 85 Mentone teams competed at the Region Relay Carnival. It was a hot day, but that didn't stop these superstar athletes from running their best for their team and the club.

 

There were some excellent displays of camaraderie, exciting results, medals, records broken and as always, our athletes showed outstanding sportsmanship towards their teammates and competitors. We're very proud of them and all their efforts. 

 

We would like to extend a special congratulations to our 34 teams who have now progressed to the State Relay Championships, to be held at Lakeside Stadium on February 4th, 2023. 

 

The following Mentone Relay records were also broken:

 

Boys U10 4x100m - 58.93s (Hugh Blandamer, Hamish Fragiacomo, Jacob Fragiacomo, Lucas Stamatovski)

Boys U10 4x200m - 2:04.15s (Hugh Blandamer, Hamish Fragiacomo, Jacob Fragiacomo, Lucas Stamatovski)

 

Finally, this day could not have happened without an enormous amount of help. We would like to give a big thanks to all of the parents who performed duties, Age Group Managers who coordinated their teams, Scott, Callum, Sophie, Hannah, Mat and Nige for taking on Key Official roles, and to our amazing Mentone Team Managers, Sophie and Lucy, who went above and beyond to support us on the day

 

Go Mentone!

 

Regards,

Alex Woods on behalf of the Mentone Little Athletics Centre Committee
