Hi everyone, I’m Marli Wilkinson. I’m very excited to be coaching at SKAAC this season. I have been coaching athletics for the past 2 years now with SKAAC, Camberwell Malvern Little Athletics, Carey Baptist Grammar School and Fintona and have recently started coaching with Anglesea Surf Lifesaving Club as one of the beach sprints coaches. I currently run with Melbourne University as a student athlete being in my second year studying Bachelor of Science. My favourite Aths event is the 400m hurdles however I do really enjoy sprinting and sprint hurdles . At the 2019 National’s I placed 3rd in the U/20 400m Hurdles and 1st in the 4 x 400m Relay along with taking out the U/20 400m Hurdle State Champs and Lifesaving State Title in the open and U/20 Sprint. Look forward to meeting you all at the track!

Hello!
My name is Charlotte Imer and I’m excited for the opportunity to coach SKAAC junior athletes.
I’ve spent the last 5 years competing in the US, as a Division 1 NCAA cross country and track athlete where I received All American honours for both track and cross country, running a pb of 15:59 in the 5000m.
I began my coaching career at the University of Tennessee at Martin in 2019. I currently attend and coach at Tennessee Tech, where I am studying my masters in exercise science.
I appreciate track in all its entirety, but have a strong affinity for the distance events.
My goal is to transfer the knowledge and skills I have acquired in the US. I look forward to getting to know each athlete and learning and growing with them.
I take a consistent and balanced approach to training, while bringing some fun into one of the toughest sports. As a coach it’s really important that I take into account the varied demands placed on middle/high school athletes to ensure they get the most out of their training and achieve a positive outcome.

I started sprinting during little athletics and continued throughout my high school years at Brighton
Grammar and have pursued a career in sprinting full time for 8 years. In that time I have competed at the
national level, won multiple State championship titles and broken club records with SKAAC and other athletics clubs. I have been trained by some great athletics coaches over my time and am looking forward to implementing the knowledge I’ve gained from them and
my own experience to coaching here at SKAAC. My goal is to provide a fun, exciting and great learning/training environment for all participants
