State Relay Championships 28 November 2015 – Lakeside Stadium
There is no doubt that Athletics is about numbers. After an amazing day of relay racing for the club here are some of the key numbers:
1 (as in SKAAC Open 4x400m Relay teams for the whole SKAAC community to watch at the Zatopek Final on Saturday 5th December at 8:30pm)
1 (as in Gold medals, magnificently won by the Under 16 4x100m team)
1.20 (as in the seconds sliced from the previous Open 4x100m relay Club Record)
2 (as in the fastest two Open 4x100m relay teams the club has ever had)
3 (as in medals) with 1 Gold Medal to the Under 16 4x100m and Bronze to the Open 4x100m and 4x800m teams.
4 (as in SKAAC underage Club records that the Under 16 4x100m team broke in running 45.40)
5 (as in SKAAC underage Club records that the Under 16 Distance Medley team broke in running 4:00.04)
5.18 (as in the seconds sliced from the previous Open Distance Medley relay Club Record)
7 (as in Club relays records broken on the day)
7 (as in where the Under 16 Medley team performance sits on the SKAAC All-time list)
8 (as in teams to compete on the day)
17 (Conor Fry’s age, and the high likelihood to be the youngest ever Open Track & Field medallist for the club)
18 (Jonathan Taylor’s age for the 2 SKAAC Open Club Records he was a huge part of)
21,826 (as in the days that the Open Distance Medley Open Club Record had stood for!!) Tom Tierney, Keith Lodge, G Michael Stewart & Jack Baker incredibly holding the previous record since 26 February 1956.
Thanks to all for making the 2015/2016 State Relays as monumental as they were, especially to all of the Athletes that prepared and executed so well on the day.
In one massive disappointment for the day, I do need to issue an apology to the Under 18 4×800 team for their disqualification and take full responsibility for it. Doubly so after a similar issue in 2014.
