First and foremost, a huge congratulations to all the athletes who qualified for and attended the State Track and Field Championships! Representing both yourself and Keilor Little Athletics Centre at a state level is an incredible achievement, and you should all be extremely proud of your performances.
A Big Thank You to Our Volunteers and Supporters
Events like these wouldn’t be possible without the amazing support of our volunteers, families, and community. We would like to express our gratitude to:
Lauren for starting up both days as team manager, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
The Ho family for generously providing lollies, Zooper Doopers, and capturing fantastic photos from the day.
Ana for keeping our social media updated with all the action throughout the event.
All the parent helpers who assisted with duties across the weekend.
Families and friends who supported from the stands and cheered on from home.
Your support, dedication, and enthusiasm truly make a difference to our athletes and help create such a positive experience for all.
The Keilor family should be commended for the incredible sportsmanship displayed throughout the championships. From athletes supporting each other on and off the track, to families and coaches cheering on competitors from all clubs, the spirit of camaraderie was truly inspiring. It was wonderful to see our athletes not only celebrate their own achievements but also show respect and encouragement to their fellow competitors. Keilor continues to be known for its welcoming and positive culture, and this was on full display throughout the event.
