One of the best High Jump performances the club has seen came from eleven-year-old Rico Waerea who managed to jump over his own height finishing on an incredible 1.40 metres and breaking his current club record by six centimetres.

To reinforce just how good the jump was it has matched the Gold Athletics North Queensland (ANQ) Development Squad qualifier for 13-year-olds.

17-year-old Erin Faithful was on her game as well pushing her under 18 Triple Jump record out to 9.72 metres and increased the Shot Put record to 10.92 metres.

Her Triple Jump distance saw her get her seventh ANQ Development Squad qualifier for the year.

Personal Best’s (PBs) were also back on the agenda, 10-year-old Ally Haddon backed up her Perfect Score from the previous week with another five from five PB’s.

Also backing up was Ruby Clewett (13) who also clinched five from five after going home with a respectable four from five last week.

Four other athletes, Tileah Mearns, Amy Haddon, Remmy English and Jayden Boshoff all came oh so close finishing the day with four.

Mason Turner also performed well with three and an equal from five.

When it comes to coming close seven year old Illy Chapman definitely takes the cake.

She managed a three centimetre PB in Discus but missed one in her 60 metres by 0.1 seconds another in the 80 metres also by 0.1 seconds she was one centimetre short in her long jump and only three centimetres short in Turbo Jav.

While not so good in the PB stakes she deserves a prize for consistency.

There must have been something in the air last Saturday, while quite a number of PB’s were achieved 109 to be exact, many of them were quite substantial increases.

There were no less than 29 noteworthy performances with some of the best being Molly Duffell taking 16 seconds off her 1500 metres, Amy Haddon bettering her 800 metres time by an incredible 29 seconds.

Tileah Mearns, Sienna TeWani, Amy Haddon and Ruby Clewett all took a minimum of 3.5 seconds off their 200 metres times.

Macklin Kretschmann, Hughie Dickenson-Jones, Corey Stewart, Amy Haddon and Ethan Cernoia all added at least two metres to their throwing events. Ethan actually added two metres to his shot put PB.

Also worth a mention are Charlotte Chapman and Zoe Duffell who both took over a second off their 80 sprint times.

At such a late part of the season these are incredible results and should be applauded.

Four-year-old Kailan Turner must have had his listening ears on and it earned him this week’s ‘Mighty Minion’ award

Charlotte Chapman, Reggie McMillan, Rico Waerea and Ally Haddon all had performances over the Legend Certificate levels and will receive the awards this Saturday.

Best keep your head down if you’re anywhere near Sunset Oval this Saturday afternoon as there may be some low flying Superheros buzzing around.

At the end of each season the club celebrates its final club day of the year with D-M-D Day (Disney-Marvel-DC) or Superhero Day as it is better known.

Athletes, Parents and Officials will don the costumes of there favourite characters for the afternoon and release some super performances.

The following day, Sunday 11 will see many of the 14 years plus athletes return to the oval to battle for the King and Queen of the ring in the clubs second ‘Isa Throws Pentathlon’ of the year.
