For the first time this year two athletes managed the Perfect 5 from 5 PB’s. Katie Brock and seasoned athlete Dan Butler should both be proud of their efforts as it becomes increasingly difficult to achieve PB’s as the season progresses. Four others Ethan English, Cooper Hanson, Harley Murphy and Ryan Hujanen came tantalisingly close finishing their day with four from five.
Continuing on their Record Breaking ways were Conor Bowden and Lachy McCoy who both continue to push the Mount Isa clubs track records ever lower.
Fifteen-year-old Conor completed a powerful run in the 200m coming home in a blistering time of 24.4 seconds. It only took Lachy 13.1 seconds to complete the non-traditional 90m Hurdles from the week prior.
The four-year-old Minion group may be a bit smaller this year but the enthusiasm level is high.
This week Rylie Hanson will receive the ‘Mighty Minion’ award for ‘Smashing the Hurdles’.
Club officials are hoping that the hurdles weren’t literally smashed.
The steady flow of Legend Certificates continues with another six to be awarded to Conor Bowden – 200m, Jayden Boshoff – 800m, Kailan Turner – 60m Hurdles, Liane Van Lelyveld – 100m, Pratik Seegoolam – Shot Put and Riley Eggmolesse – Shot Put.
The club is now on a short break over the school holidays and will recommence on July 15th.
