This Friday January 29th we will be running Event Series 2 which sees the Tots through U7s run 70m, the U6s and U8s run the 100m and the U8s through U17s running the straight hurdles. There are Walks for the U9s, U10s and U11s while the U12s to U17s run a 400m and the U7s take on the 500m event. You can print a copy of the ESLAC Event Series 2 Jan 29, 2021 and the ESLAC ES Marks Event Locations Map Sep 19, 2018 and bring them with you on Friday night so that you know what is scheduled for your age group and where you can find your group at any time.
U13 to U17 Youth State Championships Reminder. U13 to U17 athletes PLEASE NOTE that this week is hurdles night and if you want to run hurdles at the Youth State Championships you will need to set times at Little Athletics events because the NSW Schools carnivals run different hurdles specifications for most age groups and times from these events will not be accepted for entry into the Youth State Championships. Please see a copy of the LANSW Rules of Competition – Event Specs 2020 to work out if your school or senior athletics events are compatible.
Barbeque Help Required. The barbeque fuels the families of ESLAC as well as the ESLAC bank balance and it has been doing a brilliant job on both counts this season. But the barbeque needs volunteers to run smoothly so, if you nominated as a barbeque volunteer on your parental obligations form, please see Vanessa at the barbeque to help out, the earlier the better.
