We have a lot to be proud of this season at BHLAC. Membership numbers have significantly increased, Program changes have been made for the benefit of the day and the experience for everyone. We have also had an amazing amount of parent support this year. It is a well-known fact that the Little Athletics Program would not be possible if it wasn't for parents helping out each week. This season we have seen an almost full list of duties each week prior to the Sunday start time. Whether it is setup or timing support, or even marshalling, the club has been supported so well and it has made for a much improved atmosphere at the track for the 2021/22 season. So to all of you parents THANK YOU!!! The BHLAC Committee thanks each and every one of you for your support this season! Next Sunday is the last round of the Club Championship Program. This means its the last week for our athletes to accrue competition points that go towards the end of season awards. A reminder that the end of season awards day is on Sunday April 10. This day will feature a full day of events. In the morning we will commence with a Cross Country Come & Try run at the track. This is open to all athletes that may be returning for another Cross Country Season or to anyone that want's to try it for the first time. There will be more information about this to follow over the coming weeks, Following this we will hold the BHLAC Annual General Meeting in the Clubhouse.

With one of our bigger attendances of the year it was great to see everyone really getting involved in the program and achieving a number of personal bests. It has been so pleasing to see the development of our athletes this season. With the help of our resident club coach Steve Cain and his team, along with our event specialists and age group managers on program day, our kids are very fortunate to have the coaching support they need to help them improve as the season goes on. The February/March window is the championship time. Our BHLAC athletes have competed at a number of events such as the EMR's, Athletics Victoria State Track & Field Champs, LAVic State Multis, AV Country Championships and in a few weeks the LAVic State Track & Field Championships. Congratulations to all our athletes that have competed and progressed to the next stage of their season program. It is fantastic to see so many athletes competing beyond the traditional Sunday program. As we edge closer to the end of the competition program we are pleased to announce an extension of the season calendar with a couple of extra fun weeks of activity. The Sunday after the State Track & Field Championships will be the Box Hill Relayathon Day. This will be a fun day of athletics, relays and some fund raising for a great cause - The Royal Childrens Hospital Good Friday Appeal. The hospital and LAVic have shared a long association with one another and this year they celebrate 50 years of teaming up. Further information will follow in the coming weeks so watch this space for further details. The week after will also be a fun day. Whilst it won't be for competition points it will be one that everyone will thoroughly enjoy. This week coming is program B.
