New
High Jump Record at Waverley!!!
Our High
Jump coach Lindsay Harrison is really thrilled about the new High Jump SETUP
record at Waverley. The previous PB in setting up the HJ mats has been
slashed from several minutes to less than 3 minutes now. 1, 2 or 500
kids, we are now ready to go for HJ in a flash – No sweat!
Just
weeks prior to our 2007 Open Day, many of you would have witnessed two strange
looking steel frames arriving on a Crane truck during our Saturday morning
competition. The Waverley Superman team was needed to carry these heavy
frames across to their new resting place.
During
the following week, a small dedicated team burnt the daylight savings hours to
attach sides and a roof to what would quickly become our new HJ sheds.
Finally, a "graffiti proof coating" was applied so that potential
graffiti is easily and quickly removed. The sheds were "solely
funded by Waverley Little Athletics" and with that in mind, can we all
make sure that we report any misuse, damage or vandalism to the appropriate
people in charge.
A huge amount of work went on behind the scenes to turn the dream (for many
previous committees) into reality. This
would not have been achieved without the help of the following people – A
bit THANK YOU to all:
Lindsay
look forward for new challenges with all that spare time he has now every
week!!!

Katherine Goff Sets new Waverley Centre Record in u11 70m
The third of the
records for the day went to Katherine Goff in the u11 70m. Katherine has
been "knocking at the door" for many records over the past couple of
seasons, so this is certainly a well deserved one, and a nice "scalp"
to have taken the record from too (Carolyn Dempsey....who had an outstanding
Little aths career representing Victoria on numerous occasions)

July 2007 - Walk Update - Lindsay Harrison
Whilst many of our kids are off
playing other sports over the winter, these are only some of our "young guns" that have been "flying" at Albert Park on Saturday afternoons during the winter
racing Walking season. Many of them also run at Cross Country on Saturday mornings, so they are
certainly "up and about" and very active :-)
They have so far enjoyed a brilliant season and surprised themselves with excellent results and continue to better their PBs every week. The distances covered vary from 1km for the youngest all the way up to 5km some weeks for u15s. Of the junior walkers competing weekly, Waverley has the largest turn out of the 50+ enjoying the beautiful sunny winter arvos.
Overall there are around 100 competing ranging in age from 6 to 80 years young ! And I can tell you, getting beaten by "more senior in age" men and women is something you have to get used to, as it's a "regular
occurrence" !

Race Walking Club website
