2019-11-24 Victorian Relay Championships

Doncaster Newsletter

Doncaster had another successful day at the Victorian Relay Championships on Saturday, winning five gold, two silver and one bronze medal, improving on last year’s tally of three gold, one silver and four bronze!

The Under 14 Men won both the 4 x 100 and the 4 x 400, breaking the club record in both events with the 4×100 record having stood for thirty one years and the 4×400 record improved by six seconds from last year’s record performances. The Men’s over 40 team did the same and the Women’s Open 4 x 800 team was also successful. There were silver medals for the Men’s over 50 4 x 1500 and the Women’s Open Medley while our Under 18 Women won Bronze in the 4×800.

It’s an exciting time for Doncaster with our junior teams being very competitive, our Open Men and Women contesting their 4x400m finals at Zatopek on Saturday 14th of December at Box Hill and looking further ahead to Shield Final in February the club is in a strong position.
