Similar to a pentathlon, athletes will compete in 4 events. A sprint, jump, throw and distance run.
Athletes will earn points based on their achievements throughout the morning.

As an added bonus, every athlete that achieves a PB in any event will receive an additional 5 points.

Committee for Next Season
As we get closer to the end of the season it is time to think about the formation of the Committee for next season. At the trophy presentation day we will be asking for nominations for all committee positions. We’d love to see some new faces join the committee. Please take a look at the Role Descriptions for each Committee position which can be found HERE. If you are interested please have a chat to one of the current committee about how you can become involved. And remember that without a Committee, the club cannot operate.
See you all on the track!
