Athlete's name, date of birth and guardian name is required. The Knox Centre will pay entry fees but will require reimbursement if not turning up without a valid reason. This is the first time in many years this event has been held in the Melbourne metropolitan area, as it is normally held in a country region. A warning that the online entry process is proving a bit temperamental? Any athletes that have previously entered directly online should double check the list of entered athletes on the VLAA website to ensure that their name is on the list. At least 2 Knox athletes who thought that they had entered correctly have since found out that their entry did not go through properly! For all those athletes that have given their details to the Team Managers, I can assure them that they will be properly entered by Sunday evening. Any queries, call David or Julie. The timetable from the VLAA website is available from HERE! and please click HERE! for the State Championship Flyer. 24/06/09 "Handicap Day" This Saturday This Saturday at Jells Park-north off Waverley Road is our annual Handicap Day. Each athlete starts the race at a different time (which is determined from previous times recorded during theseason). Trophies are awarded to 1st, 2nd & 3rd placegetters (regardless of gender) for each race. While all athletes can compete on this day, only registered athletes that have competed on at least 3 point scoring days (since registration) prior to Handicap Day, are eligible for an award.
Please see Noel Eastwood 20 minutes before your scheduled race to have your handicap time recorded on your arm. 23/06/09 EMR Cross Country Results EMR Cross Country results are now out and available by clicking HERE! 22/06/09 No Hurdles Training This Sunday Hurdles coach Steve Cowburn is presenting at an ATFCA Level 2 course at Olympic Park next Sunday afternoon. Consequently he cannot attend the 4.00pm hurdle session. 22/06/09 EMR Cross Country Championships
Amidst brilliant blue skies and sunshine, around 60
Knox athletes competed on Sunday in the EMR Cross Country Championships at
Ruffey Lake Park in Doncaster. Our team numbers were down – partly due to EMR no
longer being a qualification round for State – but also due to several families
being hit by various local forms of swine flu or similar. To make matters worse,
the timetable actually ran to schedule (or ahead of schedule, depending on how
you measure these things!) and many athletes from all centres actually missed
their event often arriving as their fellow athletes ran off into the distance.
There was many a scene of parents humbly and awkwardly trying to console a teary
eyed and sad faced athlete.
