Round 6 – 06/02/2021
Doncaster had another successful day on Saturday, coming second Premier Division. The Under 14 Men and Women topped the state with the Open Men and Under 18 Women coming second. Our best result yet. Also, thank you to everyone who assisted with club helper duties. Your time and effort is always appreciated.
Special mentions to Charlie Wu (100m and Long Jump), Ethan Luo (100m and Long Jump) and Rosie Lyness (3000m) who made their DAC debuts at Knox and Doncaster respectively and to Stephanie Ratcliffe who returned to AVSL competition for the first time since commencing her studies at Harvard last year.
Round seven of AVSL is this Saturday the 13th at Aberfeldie and Nunawading and there is still time to enter! We understand numbers will be down because of the recent announcement that Little Athletics Regionals are being held this weekend. However, we would like to encourage everyone not competing in the regionals to do an extra event or two to help the club achieve a good score.

Zatopek results
On Tuesday 26th, five DAC athletes competed in the Zatopek competition at Box Hill, producing some fantastic results.
- Abbey Caldwell won the Ondiecki Women’s 3000m race in 9:22.35, finishing thirteen seconds ahead of second place.
- In the Women’s 400m hurdles, Stephanie Larkin ran a personal best of 61.23 on her way to fifth place and Nicole Reynolds finished 7th in 63.63.
- Josh Maisey finished seventeenth in the Zatopek 10,000m national championship in a time of 30:20.52.
- And Connor Gist returned to elite competition in the Women’s 800m, finishing 8th in 2:15.83. Unfortunately she injured her Achilles during the race. We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her back on the track representing DAC soon.
Powerplay – Saturday March 20th
We are deciding to use our AVSL Powerplay in the last round of AVSL on Saturday 20th of March when competition will be held at Doncaster and Nunawading.
The Powerplay will mean our club score will be doubled and we would like to encourage everyone to enter three events for that round to give us the best chance of yielding a high score. Even if you run a strong 800m then throw a 4m Shot Put and jog a 200m, this will provide a greater contribution to our score and give us a strong chance of finishing the season on a high.
AVSL Final – draft timetable released
With DAC on track to qualify for the AVSL final on Saturday 27th of March, AV have released a draft timetable.
Events contested at the final will be: 100m, 1500m, 2000m/3000m Steeple, 2000m Walk, 4x200m, Javelin, Discus, Long Jump and Pole Vault.
In order to qualify for the final, the club must finish in the top three in Premier Division and athletes must have:
- Competed in a minimum of three rounds of AVSL
- And competed in the event(s) contested in the final at least once during the season (e.g. If you have competed in the 1500m once and competed in 800m for the rest of the season, you will still be eligible to run the 1500m at the final
If you are seeking to qualify for a specific event in the program, please make sure you do as this could make a difference to how the club performs in the final. Athletes will only be allowed to compete in their three best scoring events plus the 4x200m relay (relay teams will be formed on the day of competition).
Uniforms are still available, and the preference is to organise a time during the week to try them on. The selection of items is on the DAC website. Contact Kath on 0447 494 509 or uniforms@doncasterac.org.au Kath lives close to the track and can meet you there when training.
