Smaller numbers were an indication of the busy time leading up to Christmas and the school holidays.

The strong winds probably kept a few away as well, and it proved to be quite a challenge as athletes participated in the 800 metres, 200m, 100m and 70m running events.

Some were able to improve even further with discus and one of the smaller girls managed a throw of more than eight metres.

Even watching from across the oval it was obvious that the athletes had also improved in the long jump.

Our next Tuesday meet will be at 5pm on Februrary 5.

Don't forget the ACT Little Athletics Relay Carnival is on this weekend at the AIS in Canberra.

A big thank-you to all the parents and helpers who made this season a great one. The committee would like to wish you all a happy and safe Christmas and we will see you all in the New Year.
