AVSL 2022/23 Round 3 Wrap




Round 3 Date: Sat 22nd Oct 2022


Opener

After a wet and gloomy start to the morning, the weather held off for competition at Knox and Doncaster. By the end of the day it was beautiful blue skies - go Melbourne weather! Our performances are improving as our club numbers grow - we are looking forward to Round 4 at Duncan McKinnon on the 12th November 2022.


Welcome to newcomers

Welcome to new members who made their debut in track & field for Glenhuntly AC:

  • Antonina Tyurina

  • Evette Cordy

  • Archie Mattsson

  • William O'Shannessy

  • George Fowler

  • Matthew Milias

  • Jasper McKinna


Our standing on the Premier Division Ladder

Our AVSL Round 3 provisional finish was 4th, scoring better than Round 2 and pipped by a team exercising its PowerPlay. AV has not updated the Ladders since round 1 as Geelong were not able to compete due to track flooding and Bendigo were not able to compete in round 3.

Club Helpers

Each club must supply a minimum number of club helpers at each round of AVSL. Glenhuntly AC relies on parents, partners, friends and our competing athletes to fill the B Zone Club Duty Roster each week. Our AVSL competitions couldn’t happen without the fabulous efforts of our club helpers. A big thank you to the following people who were our club helpers at the Knox venue for Round 3:

  • Victoria Haritos , Larissa Honner, Fiona Noble, Ilan Freedman, Kurt Golonka

  • Apologies for missing Stuart Mackie and Alex Newman from AVSL R2 Pole Vault duty and cleanup.

Apologies if anyone was missed, please update the Club Duty spreadsheet.
