Victorian T&F Champs

Over the past two weekends, Doncaster Athletic Club athletes delivered outstanding performances at the Victorian Track & Field Championships, securing multiple medals and breaking club records. A special congratulations to Tom Reynolds, who set a new club record in the 400m, and Harper Harding, who broke club records in all three of her events: 100m, 200m, and 80m Hurdles. This year also marked the first time that overage (40+) categories were included, providing more opportunities for our masters athletes to compete at the highest level. Well done to everyone who represented the club.
