To all SKAAC Athletes,
Athletics Victoria have just advised all Victorian clubs that this Saturday’s Round 7 Shield Meet has been cancelled. Please see below for the email sent by AV.
************************************************
Dear Team Managers,
The 5am forecast from the Bureau confirms extreme conditions (high temperatures) this Saturday across Victoria.
With the temperature exceeding 38 degrees, the extreme heat policy is in place and the assessment is a very high risk to athletes, officials, and club helpers in all regions.
Rescheduling and/or changes to the program or the provision of shelter/water etc is not an option based on the forecast on the day, and the preceding high temperatures forecast for the previous day.
As a result, the round of Shield for Saturday this weekend will be cancelled.
AV will post on our website and through social media and also send an email to all competing members.
At this stage no decision has been made to reschedule the competition to another time as a points scoring round.
If you would like to forward this onto your athletes, please feel free to.
Regards,
Travis Poznachowski
