 It was another great day of Little Athletics last Sunday. 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. A big weekend of hurdles so the BHLAC Committee looks forward to seeing you all back at the track on Sunday!

Whilst we heavily promote SignUp through the week, we comfortably have most roles filled by the time Sunday comes around. We would like to thank you, the parents for your amazing support this season. Your commitment to the club and most of all to all our athletes is greatly appreciated. This weeks program is B. The back straight hurdles program.

Without them we would not have been able to fund some significant improvements this season. This season we have added the new lap scoreboard, commenced phase one of the new BHLAC uniform, added some new lane cone markers, new signage and promotional banners and even purchased a new Toyota Rav 4 club car which has made a significant difference to our set up and pack up process. It would be great to repay the faith that our sponsors have had in us by supporting them any way we can. Please consider our sponsors as we thank them for their ongoing support.
