AVSL Round 4 – Round-Up
With venues being a long way from our home track, Doncaster was down to ninth this round, and points were down. Diamond Valley was back on top with Essendon and Western Athletics well down on the previous round. Perhaps some athletes were recovering from the All Schools Championships, and the Milers meet on Thursday.
However, some age groups performed well, with Men’s under 16 finishing second in the state, men’s under 14 and women under 20 fifth and men’s over 40 sixth.
Some individuals performed well with Gerald Brown and Christian Zapris being top in the state in the 100 and 400 metres in their age groups, and Zander Botha being top in the 400 metres and long jump.
