Athletics

Athletics season is well and truly underway, with the inter-house carnival taking place last term, and with the first CASSA lead-up meet being held last Friday night.  The carnival went so well, and we were super happy to see an empty grandstand for most of the day. Results from the carnival really highlighted the talent at Mt A, and we are super excited to send off our team to CASSA this year! 

The first lead-up meet was held last Friday night at the University of Queensland, so a special mention and thank you to those girls who attended.  There will be another lead-up meet this tomorrow night and next Friday night (30 July) before the final CaSSSA team will be announced.  If you weren’t able to compete at the Athletics Carnival or didn’t have the chance to do an event, but still wish to compete at CaSSSA, come along to either one of the lead-up meets to try and qualify!  Also, please try and come along to training sessions - ideally two per week - there is a form on Notices that you will need to fill out before attending training sessions and practice meets.  We really want to do well at CaSSSA this year so hopefully we see lots of you turning up to training.  To those girls who have been coming, thank you and keep up the good work!

The training times are as listed: 6:45am Monday San Damiano – Long Distance Training (400m, 800m, 1500m); 6:45am Wednesday San Damiano – Speed Squad (100m, 200m, Relays); 3:00pm Thursday Picnic Rug (Return to School 5:30) – Jumps & Throws; Break 1 Friday Oval/San Damiano – Speed Squad (100m, 200m, Relays).
