Little Athletics

At Woden Little Athletics this season a wide age range of students developed their skills and participation in ‘On Track”, a modified program for younger children. Throughout the season there was an emphasis placed on improvement through self and team support.  The students had great fun, made new friends and improved their fitness.

They had the opportunity to compete in carnivals and championships.  In the final weeks of the season, three students qualified to compete in the ACT Little Athletics Championships.  Madeleine Mackie (Y5) in the High Jump, Joanne Chalker (Y4) in 800 metres race, 700 metres walk, Shot Put and Discus and Mel Clery (Prep) in 50 and 100 metres races and Long Jump.  All three students performed well with Joanne Chalker receiving a medal for second in 700 metres Walk and Mel Clery for second in Long Jump and third in 50 metres race receiving medals. 

The final event of the season was Presentation Day held at the Canberra Southern Cross Club.  The children were entertained and received participation medallions and club trophies.
