Open men of the club fielded a team in the NSW State Club Championship, and although it came today at the very last minute, the team performed so well and should be proud of their performance.
Some of our open men were not available, but the members rallied around, and a good team was formed to represent the club.
Top performance by Corey Williams who scored the top points for the club by taking out 3rd placing overall in the long jump out of 17 competitors.
Newcomer to our club, Joshua Baulch was next with a very good 5th placing overall in the 400m out of 24 competitors in a star-studded event.
Jonty Faulkner moved up a division to take on the men’s open 100m, and teamed with club mate Cameron Chisolm, both performing well. Jonty also scored points for the team by competing in the shot. Samuel Jones came down a distance when he took on the 1500m athletes, an event he rarely contests.
Baulch, Williams, Faulkner and Chisolm then teamed to take out 9th overall in the 4 x 100m relay.

Points are allocated from 40 for 1st, followed by one less point each position down to 36th placing in a concept that proved popular over the one day instead of the usual 2 day dragged out event, that in particular favoured the larger clubs.
