What a week it’s been. As most of you are aware the Moonee Valley Athletics Centre was under water on Friday. Whilst the flood waters are now receding around the Maribyrnong there was still significant impacts to the roads and flooding affecting the John Landy Athletics Field at Geelong, meaning that events there were cancelled. This, no doubt, affected the turn out for round 2. Well done to all who managed to compete.
