The pair, Marley Miko and Zeb Kretschmann powered on in all of their events to take out the prize ahead of six other hopefuls who finished their days with a highly commendable four from five.
The crew to come up just one PB short were Serena Gowland, Charlotte Chapman, Cooper Hanson, Ethan English, Lachy McCoy and Tori Chapman.
It must have been worst of all for Serena who tragically fouled all three of her triple jumps, failing to record a score and in turn missing out on the five from five.
Club records have seen a dramatic slowdown so far this year with only three being broken in the past two club days.
New master athlete Kylie Hahipene is looking impressive bettering the 35-39-year-olds 90m hurdles with a time of 18.63s and pushed the triple jump distance out to 8.42m. The third record to fall was in the U20 men’s high jump where at one point three jumpers, Lachy McCoy, Mitchell Hujanen and Josh Scott had all surpassed the old record with a jump of 6.61m. Lachy and Josh then went on to record heights of 1.65m and now share the new record.
Eighteen more legend certificates have also been awarded to Corey Stewart, Ethan English, Scarlett Venz, Tia Peel, Archer Curtis, Caja-Rae Evans, Connor Baker, Dean English, Macklin Kretschmann, Pratik Seegoolam, Rico Waerea, Rylie Hanson, Sienna Hilton and Xavier McIntosh.
Elizabeth Stewart and Mahli Dredge have received the latest ‘Mighty Minion’ awards Elizabeth for being Awesome and Mahli for being the quiet achiever.
Anyone interested in athletics can come to Sunset Oval prior to 2pm on Saturday afternoons and enjoy two free trial days to see if they like it before fees are due.
