Doncaster Newsletter 40+
(Edition 66)
Round 5 – 19/11/2022
It was wild and woolly at Athletics on Saturday, at one stage at Meadowglen it all stopped for the officials’ tents to be taken down, and then the photo finish equipment had been damaged, so we were back to manual timing for the 400’s. The sprinters and long jumpers didn’t mind, but the only records accepted were those of Kim Peak in the 1500 Walk and David Vaughan in the 1500 metres.
Older athletes continue to pull their weight, with the men creeping up to third in the state, and the women dropping down to seventh. Still a remarkable effort. Lydia Rinaudo was the fastest 40+ 1500 metre runner in the state while David Vaughan and David Firth were second.
Congratulations to John Curry who ran 21:01.5 in the 5000 metres Victorian Championships at Box Hill on Thursday evening 17th.
And on Tuesday 22nd Our only 40+ club athlete representative at the High Velocity Meet at Doncaster was Paul Mierisch in the 400m in a time of 54.76.
DAC is currently looking to produce a 60 second promotional video. If you can assist, or recommend someone, please let us know.
Do you like taking photos ? – Then we would love your assistance !
We also need someone to take on the photographer role. Ideally someone with a nice SLR camera. At least for rounds at Doncaster. Please reply to this email if you can assist.
All results and records below after a few community announcements !
