Centre Manager’s Blog
Congratulations to all of our athletes who competed at the Regional Championships on the
weekend. We had so many athletes achieving personal bests and also qualifying for the State Titles in Cairns. It was also fabulous to see so many athletes congratulating others and
showing fabulous sportsmanship. Information regarding the State Titles will be issued soon.
Our Centre Championships are fast approaching, with only one more Friday night competition before these commence. Please ensure you pay your nomination fees at the office
this week. The cost is $3 per athlete. This covers all three competitions.
This is our final newsletter for the season and on behalf of the committee I would like to thank everyone for their assistance this year and for being part of our great club. If you have any ideas on how our Centre can improve next season, please contact one of our committee members. All information regarding Sign On for next season will be forwarded to currently
registered athletes in August. Keep an eye out on the website and Facebook page in the meantime for any information.
Also please remember the change of date for our break up which will now be held on April 5,
2:30pm at Ipswich Central School Hall.
Here's to a fantastic end of season. See you all at the track.

Coaches Corner
Congratulations on the wonderful efforts from our athletes at Regional Championships last weekend. Many new personal bests were achieved and I would like to thank all the wonderful coaches on their dedication to these
athletes all season. Training will have a slight change in the lead up to State Titles. U6 & U7 remain the same 5pm - 6pm. U8 will now get to stay until 6.30pm and will be able to trial events they will be doing next season such as
walks and high jump. U9+ will train in two events each Tuesday with the coach of their choice who is there that day and training will conclude at 6.30pm.
Thursday sessions are available from now until the week leading up to State Titles (last session of the season is
Thursday 20th March). Events so far are hurdles. As more coaches become available for extra sessions more events will be on offer. All updated information on coaching sessions will be put on the Facebook pages & website.
