MORE than 90 keen athletes took to the track for last Friday night’s final night of competition for the 2022-23 season of Camperdown little aths.
Perfect weather conditions saw a large group of athletes enjoy their last opportunity to gain personal best times and distances at the Camperdown College sports precinct.
Throughout this season there has been tremendous growth at the centre, with more than 131 trialling athletes attending.
Last Friday night again saw great camaraderie and friendship among participating athletes.
While the centre doesn’t offer a cross-country season, there is an opportunity for all current members to attend and compete at the Western Country Region cross-country carnival in June (dates and
venue to be confirmed).
Athletes and families are reminded to keep an eye on the centre’s socials throughout winter for more information.
