Congratulations to our U14 Girl's Team who competed at Victorian Relay Championships last Saturday in the 4x100m and 4x400m.
Their times were very impressive, and the average age for this team is only 12, so the great thing is that they will be eligible to compete in the same U14 event again next year. Well done to the girls involved who definitely made our club shine.
Also thanks to Peter Rule for coaching and managing the team on the day.

The new CEO of Athletics Victoria - Glenn Turnor - held an information night on the 13/6/2013 to discuss the changes to the forthcoming AV Shield season.
Following feedback fron clubs about overcrowding at events and not enough competition rounds after Christmas, AV are introducing some major changes. Clubs in the current three Metro regions (North West, East, South East) will be redistributed into four new zones (Yellow, Red, White, Blue).
Ivanhoe will move from East Region to Zone Red. Other clubs in this zone will be Collingwood, Diamond Valley, Doncaster, Preston, Meadowglen, Richmond & Whittlesea. Our zone will now just involve the Doncaster & Meadowglen (Epping) venues, with Willinda Park possibly being considered if it passes an audit.

The Coliban Ekiden Relay has been cancelled for 2013. Round 6 on the cross country calendar was to be held on July 13 in Bendigo.
