Round 5 – 16/01/2021
Doncaster started the new year well, with a third placing, pushed down by a resurgent Box Hill. However, it was the number of age groups finishing near the top in the state which was exciting. The Under 14 Women, 40+ Men and Under 16 Men finished second with the Under 18 Women finishing third. A magnificent effort at the half way point of the season, if we can keep up these performances, we will qualify for the AVSL final at Lakeside at the end of March.
The strength of the Doncaster team was seen in the 800 metres, where six athletes were in the top 11 in Premier division. Athletes to finish top 10 in the state across all age groups in Premier division were:
100m Alessia Wynne (10th)
200m Anthony Jordan (2nd), Thomas Reynolds (7th)

Best of luck to all DAC athletes who are competing at this weekend’s Victorian Country Championships in Ballarat. The weekend after is the Victorian Relay Championships at Box Hill. At this stage, we are looking at entering twenty teams across all age groups which is a fantastic result for the club. The next round of AVSL will be held on February 6 back at Doncaster.
Zatopek – Tuesday 26th
The summer of athletics would not be complete without the annual Zatopek competition where several DAC members are competing on the track.
The lead performer will be Josh Maisey, who will be competing against some of Australia’s best distance runners in the main event: the Zatopek 10,000m national championship.
Other DAC representatives are:
- Abbey Caldwell joins the best Under 20 distance runners in the Ondiecki Women’s 3000m
- Former national finalist Connor Gist makes her return to major competition in the Women’s 800m
- And 4x400m teammates Stephanie Larkin and Nicole Reynolds will be out for bragging rights in the Women’s 400m Hurdles
The track action starts at 4:55pm, unfortunately tickets for the event have sold out. However, the event will be live streamed on YouTube. Further details on the livestream will be provided in due course.
We wish Josh, Abbey, Connor, Stephanie and Nicole the best of luck in this major competition.
