Round 6 Doncaster Thursday 10th December 2015
Carnage is all that can be said for the Mens Div 1 team following Round 6 at Nunawading. Being towelled up by the Box Hill second team, given the stakes, was a terrible outcome for the team dropping us from second on the ladder to third. On the upside, many athletes were unavailable for the Round and we still have a chance to redeem ourselves in the remaining four rounds.
Tempering the result for the Mens Div 1 team was the performance of our junior teams (U/14, U/16 especially securing their first win for the season).
Plenty of debuts for the club as well with Marco Sgro, Daniel Webb, Sam Forbes and Stefano Mazzocca all having their first runs in the famous club colours.
Mention also to Lachlan Chan having his first run, but not quite registered in time to compete for points.
Open Men
Pretty light on for highlights, But Shaun Hargreaves picking up 2 PB’s in the Shot & Hammer with 11.01m & 31.30 respectively was probably the key take out for the night. Mention also to the 5000m runners who were forced to wait until nearly 10:00pm for the start of their race.
Under 18
Great to see 5 strong 800m runners race well with James Hanlon (2:03) , Callum Day (2:08), Ned O’Brien (2:08), Konrad Debicki (2:09) & Marco Sgro (2:20)
Under 16
Nearly the highlight of the night for the club with the boys securing their first victory for the year. Full fields in the 200m, Triple Jump, High Jump went a long way to the team result falling our way. Marcus Hope’s two hurdles runs (30.41 & 63.1) and Phil Borg’s 200m (23.81) the standouts.
Under 14
Our top side by ladders position, saw the lads secure another strong win on the night to further consolidate top spot on the ladder. Tom Scroggie was everywhere securing 133 points on his own, the largest for any Under 14 this season. Great to see 4 200m Hurdlers and also a super 800m run by Hugo Goodman (2:25). Very handy points scored by debutant Daniel Webb in the Shot Put (5.36m) and Joel Imbriano in the Triple Jump (6.35). In a lesson to all other SKAAC teams the boys only had gaps in the Walk, Hammer & 3000m.
