State Combined Event, 30th and 31st January 2021

Over the weekend (Jan 30th & Jan 31st )15 of our Keilor Athletes competed in the 1st State LAVic event for over 12 months. Although there were co-vid 19 restrictions on athlete numbers and spectators if was wonderful to see so many athletes striving for PB’s at Lakeside Stadium - It was a great sight.

The Combined Events consisted of five events for U/9 – U/14 athletes and seven events for U/15 & U/16 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. At the end of the day after their final 800m event the points are then tallied for an overall winner.

Our athletes showed a strong determination to strive towards personal best performances with every athlete recording at least 1 PB and some athletes achieving a PB in all 5 events. A fantastic effort considering the limited training and competitions over the past 12 months.

Keilor had two Under 9 athletes, Ruby Withers and Parker Mangan experience their 1st State event - what a fantastic job they did and always with a smile on their faces. We hope this is the start of a long association with Little Athletics state events.

Congratulations to our ribbon winners for their age,

a fantastic effort all day.
