RARE AIR, HIGH VELOCITY & AV THROWERS, 9 March 2024
There are still a few specialist meets coming up for the summer T&F season & last Saturday saw a Rare Air, High Velocity & Thrower’s meet at Lakeside, despite the blistering temperatures. AV thankfully brought the programs forward to keep the athletes out of the extreme mid afternoon sun but it was still a good test of fortitude & hydration routines! Some of the results were on fire too…..
Pole Vault – Olivia Evagelistis over 2.65m
Macca Leith leapt a mighty 3.55m
Both PB’s & showing that consistency pays off….Coming in at the pointy end of the season. Well done!
