WEEK 6 @ BHLAC

It's been a pretty crazy few weeks at BHLAC.  To say we have been busy would be an understatement. With the Box Hill Relay Day, the EMR Relay Carnival and a few program meets in between it has been a BIG month for athletes, parents and the BHLAC Committee. 
A special thank you to everyone that has been involved with the Relay Program. It took a bit longer to get going this season due to the huge season start. Not to mention we all needed to get around it again given Covid had cancelled the program over the last 2 seasons. 
​
We had amazing support from our Age Group Managers, Team Managers, parents and athletes. In particular our BHLAC Team Manager Karen Choong. 
Thank you Karen for an outstanding effort on Saturday and the week preceding the EMR Carnival. There is an enormous amount of work that goes on behind the scenes and we are lucky that we have a great cohort of parents willing to support the program. 

Relays are a great team building exercise. In a sport where most events are individual based, Relays are the one occasion where you get to celebrate and perform with friends. BHLAC had some amazing results over the last month. 
Congratulations to everyone that participated and to the ones that will progress to State Relays in the New Year, we wish you all the best!!

​Program A this week

This week is our last program for the year. It is Program A. On Track athletes commence at 1:30pm sharp and the rest need to be ready by 2pm. 
Given it is our Xmas break up we encourage everyone to come in the best Xmas outfit. Please make sure you bring your competition patch. 
There will be a BBQ and hopefully a very special visit from someone in particular!!

Thank you to every parent that has assisted this season. There is no doubt the last few weeks have run so smoothly because our parent cohort has provided the assistance needed. Thank you.
