A stunning first Round of AV Shield at Essendon & Casey has seen 3 stunning team wins for the SKAAC Under 18 Women, the Under 20 Men and the Under 14 Men.
The unique highlight provided by Jessica Mackenzie, Georgia Bertrand & Brooke Gordon, who all made their SKAAC debuts during the round, with each securing a SKAAC Open Women’s Club records in the 100m (13.20 -2.7), the Shot Put (4kg) 10.01m and Triple Jump 10.71m respectively.
Jessica also broke club records in the 100m Hurdles (16.52s) and Javelin 38.31m.
There were also several other notable debutants for SKAAC during the round:
Shannon Fraser (400m 63.16), (Javelin 33.86m) and (Long Jump 4.61m)
Paul Hassbroek (100m 11.63, 400m 51.79, Long Jump 6.49, Discus 38.08m)
Seb Reyneke (100m 11.42, Discus 41.37m, Long Jump 5.92m)
Joseph Klotz(100m 14.87)
Eliza Klotz (1500m 6:42) and
Thomas Coghlan (High Jump 1.55m).
Mention must also be made of Milla Gleeson (800m 2:36), having her first run on the track for SKAAC, whilst running her first 800m race since Year 7.
Also a big welcome to Huw Warrillow having his first track run for SKAAC after debuting during the XCR season.
One could argue that the round was SKAAC’s strongest opening round performance for nearly 10 years.
The wins in Women’s Under 18 and Mens Under 20 are our first ever round wins in these two grades ever.
With more registrations arriving in the last week, anticipation is high for an even stronger showing for SKAAC in Round 2, at Doncaster and Nunawading.
