Scott Young

Life Membership awarded in 2002.

Scott first started competing for DAC as an 11 year old. His success in the field has been consistent with his best results being a bronze in Discus at Nationals (Open) and winning

an Under 20 Australian Discus title. Internationally Scott has represented Australia on the Under 21 team to tour New Zealand and was a part of the Australian team in an International

throws competition in Brisbane.

At a club level, Scott was involved in the Committee for seven years including three years as Secretary. Scott’s record at State League as usually the only Doncaster throwing athlete

has been outstanding. For example in the 1999/2000 season Scott won 90% of the discus and shot put events he competed in. The men finished out of the finals in fifth position that

year; this could almost be attributed to an injury to Scott Young which left no representative in the throwing events.

For Scott, his life in athletics has allowed him to meet “heaps of great people around the club and from other clubs. I wouldn’t know what to do without it.” Thanks for your contributions

on and off the field Scott.
