Ringwood Athletic Club

A warm but reasonably still night set uo a good night for racing and thrwing at Box Hill.  The 3rd Throwers meet for Shot Put only was held in conjuntion with the 3rd round of Milers Club, running 800m and 1500m races.

Milers Club meet 3 was on at Box Hill tonight, with two big PB's. Peter Costanzo gave 2 minutes a fright over 800m with a 2:00.53, which was nearly 2 seconds better than his 800m race from Saturday. Getting checked twice with 150m to go didn't help. Blake wasn't far off his PB either. Erin Marriner also was nearly 2 seconds quicker over 1500m getting close to that 5 minutes for the girls running 5:02.69. Lots of pushing in that race with a lot of the field having times between 4:57 and 5:05.

Todd was our sole competitor in the A grade Shot and finished 2nd.  Great photos are from Athletics Victoria.

AV Throwers had there 2nd meet on Sunday at Ringwood for Discus and Javelin. Chelsea Haag-Witherden had a PB of 18.69 in the Discus and Heath Fox throwing the 700gm Javelin had a PB of 32.47 with that weight.

The Club was spread around the State again at Geelong, Bendigo and the bulk of the athletes competing at Lakeside.  Good conditions prevailed and the PBs came thick and fast.

Three more PBs at the Milers Club meet at Box Hill tonight, Blake Dobay was our quickest with a 2:01.70 for a 2nd in the E race. It certainly makes a difference when you don't have to carry a fridge over the last 50. Peter Costanzo took off another couple of seconds for a 2:02.40 and is getting close to that U16 record of 2:00.58 and was fifth in the D race. And Tom Linnett was a second quicker with a 2:20.17, coming 6th in the J race and third in our 12yo listings.

The High Velocity Club had their first meet at Box Hill and Danielle Shaw continued her good form with another 100m PB running 11.92.  Tayleb Willis is getting close to sub 11's with his 11.16 and Kaelah Elvish had a PB over 400m.
