I thank each and every athlete for making the effort to be a part of such a huge day for SKAAC. It is a very long day with heats and finals, especially for our junior members, and the results are simply amazing. I also thank team managers Justin Rinaldi & Steve Cain for so masterfully running the day so successfully.
