National All Schools Wrap-up
Tristan Day
The weekend saw the breaking of a record held by one of the club’s legends in Richard Hope. It will come as no surprise to many that Tristan Day has smashed his PB in finishing 4th in the Under 16 3000m at the National All Schools Championships in Canberra on the weekend.
Tristan has lowered the old mark of 9:08.0 set by Richard Hope in 1986 to 9:03.47 to take 10 seconds off his PB. Everyone at SKAAC knows how far Hopey went with his running, so get excited, as there is a super talented distance runner starting to shake up the Club Records.
Phil Borg
Phil took on the nations fastest Under 18’s in the 100m & 200m. Phil ran a super race in the heat of the 100m to miss the final by 0.01, in clocking 11.06. Returning on Sunday for the 200m, Phil ran 22.28 to place 3rd in his heat and qualify for the final. Phil ran 22.24 in the Final to place 8th in Australia. Well done Phil.

Juniors
A great weekend for the Mens Under 14 team, taking the win and in doing so, reclaiming top spot on the ladder. Well done to Joel Imbriano, Samuel Scroggie, Luca DiConza, Jett-Paris Bedelis who were able to secure the crucial win by getting out and doing heaps of events between them.
Thomas Scroggie is getting close to the Under 15 Triple Jump Club record, jumping 11.60m

Mens Div 1
We welcomed Seb Purcell & Jonathan Taylor into the sprint ranks with Nigel Self (24.13) Chris Milne showing that the hard training with JR is paying off with a strong 200m & 800m (2:04.5). The Men’s 4×400 of JT, Seb, Gerard & Milney ran 3:40.3 to finish 2nd.
Mens 40+
A narrow 3rd place to VMA hinge on a fraction, but numbers were strong in the field with all spots filled. James “two-spin” Flinn in the Hammer for only the second time ever was great with 26m+ and Jack Howard was Mr efficiency with an 11.66m Shot and 31.53m Hammer.
A Club record was set in the 4×400 with Joe, Thommo, Dino & Aaron getting home with the win in 4:01.
However, the 40+ run of the day went to Aaron Little in the 800m who ran a slashing 2:03.9 to be the fastest 40+ athlete for the day.
