AVSL Round 2 – 15/10/2022      

Photos

With competition at Doncaster this week, it was a much improved performance from the club, coming fourth in Premier Division, only one point behind Glenhuntly, who were also competing on their home track. Diamond Valley enjoyed having a closer venue and had a big win. However, with the Geelong Region cancelled, there is the possibility of no AVSL ladder points being awarded. Athletics Victoria will make a decision on this in the coming weeks. 

Round 3 is at Knox and has been moved from Aberfeldie to Doncaster due to flood damage. With a second consecutive round of AVSL at our home track, we encourage everyone to enter for this weekend. Further information about Round 3 can be found here. Entries close on Wednesday at midday so make sure you enter asap to avoid missing out! 

The men’s under 18 team topped the state, a magnificent effort while the Under 20 and 40+ Men’s teams were third in the state. 

Highlights of round 2 included: 

  • National qualifying performances from Shakira Harding (90m Hurdles), Jamison Harding and Allegria Basile (Pole Vault), Matthew Parrott (100m), Tom Reynolds (200m), Remy Williams and Lachlan Marasco (800m) 
  • John Portwood winning the Open 5000m in a blistering time of 15:28.50 while Alex Jones won his heat of the 3000m by 31 seconds in his first attempt at the distance 
  • First placings to Chris Butterworth in the Under 20 Men’s 400m Hurdles, David Firth did the Javelin-Hammer Throw double, Shakira Harding in the 90m Hurdles, Pole Vault and 400m and Matthew Parrott and Will Katic finished 1-2 in their 400m heat 
  • Felix Hattwich finishing second in his first attempt at Pole Vault, vaulting to a national qualifying performance of 2.55m
