New Events & Changes for the 2010/11 Season

There are 2 new events in 2010/11 season and a change to State Championship qualifying standards for U14 & U15 athletes for the coming season!

• Under 14s & 15s will no longer require qualifyers to enter State Individual Championships.
• Under 13 - 15 athletes will add the 200m hurdles to their program. At this stage, we expect the event to be added to Program 2. There are only 5 flights of hurdles in the event.
• Under 9 athletes have had the 800m added to their program. It will be run on Program 1.

Our new Committee was elected on Monday 10 May. Shane McCarthy has taken on the role of President for the new season. We welcome Sarnia Symons as our new Records & Ranking officer, and Amanda Robertson as general committee. Chris Brown steps up to Registrar, Allan Faint moves to Coaching & Education, Heather Bessell returns to the Secreatary position, and Roger Hosie will become Arena Manager. We have 5 General Committee positions vacant, but all executive roles are filled.

2009/10 State Individual Championships

Clarence athletes have finshed the Championships with a swag of medals. See below for medalists & the Results tab for all results. 13 Outside records were also set or equalled - see the Records tab for the updated list. A VERY special thank you to all the parents who were rostered onto duties over the weekend. Not once did the announcer have to ask a second time for our helpers or officials - a first in my 6 years at CLAC. Fantastic help & co-operation everyone!
