The season kicked off on Friday night following a family open day on October 16. Adrian Lynch, who has stepped back into the role of President, whilst Mick Ellis travels overseas, was delighted to see initial registrations online already over the 100 mark. \u201cTo have 113 already signed up bodes well, considering we still expect a further 50 to join before Christmas,\u201d Adrian said. \u201cLast year we catered for 156 eager participants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 season coincides with the 50-year- anniversary of Little Athletics in South Australia (SALAA). First formed in 1972, SALAA is affiliated with Little Athletics Australia and continues to go from strength to strength, especially on the back of the Commonwealth Games success of the likes of Jess Stenson (nee Trengove), a Limestone Coast native and proud Little Athletics alumni. The committee has been meeting regularly in the lead up and are looking forward to seeing everyone come out and try to emulate the likes of Peter Bol and Jess after the recent Commonwealth Games in England.<\/p>\n<p>The Tiny Tots (Under 5) start at 4.15pm, whilst the older age-groups (Under 6-17) are encouraged to arrive from 4.30pm onwards with a warm up scheduled for 4.45pm and the meet starting as close to 5pm as possible. Please head to Mount Gambier High School and find a committee member to point you in the right direction upon arrival. Anyone who would like more information is directed to either the MGDLA website (https:\/\/ mountgambierlac.com.au\/) or search for the Mt Gambier District Little Athletics page on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p><strong>INSPIRATIONAL:<\/strong> Olympian Izzy Batt-Doyle with Zara Cole at a Little Athletics visit last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mount Gambier District Little Athletics season is shaping up nicely with several new additions to the calendar.
