Round 3 – 21/10/2023
With venues being a long way from our home track, Doncaster was down to seventh this round, though points were not that far down from the previous round. Essendon and Western Athletics benefitted from an extra throws competition the night before. Surprisingly, Diamond Valley were back in fourth.
Jessica Nolan and Emily McKinley were our highest scoring athletes with 502 for their Javelin and discus, with Jordan Swansborough (T20) scoring 496 for his 100m and Emily McKinley 483 for her Javelin.
Young Mia Fernandez ((U16) competed in her first ever 400m race and achieved 62.33 and 448 points! Gotta be happy with that debut run! As top point scorers in running events, she was up there with Jordan Swansborough, and several other U18 male sprinters in Brodie Mierisch, Ryan O’Neil-Parker, Kaeden Levy and Riley Neecowen. If these U18 speedsters can be assembled for the Relay Championships in November they could set the track alight! There were top 10 age group placings for a number of athletes who are in great form early in the season. Alessandra Flynn, Eamon Wright, Shakira Harding, Allegria Basile, Emily McKinley, and Campbell McLennan were among the stand-outs.
David Vaughan was the most valuable athlete, scoring 1,180 points with Allegria Basile on 1,101, Campbell McLennan on 1,036, Kim Peak on 1,001 and Emily McKinley on 985 from just two events.
It was ‘welcome aboard’ to the following athletes who stepped out to compete for DAC for the very first time: Mia Fernandez, Kaedin Levy, Jordan Swansborough and Alfie Onley.
Congratulations to All who competed in Round 3! It was great to see you in action! A huge thank you to those who assisted with Round 3; including Lisa Clark at the triple jump at Casey and our wonderful Team Managers; Campbell McLennan and Matt Christie.
