Bacchus Marsh Little Athletics

The Centre held their final meet for 2022 last Friday evening with a Twilight Meet conducted.

Prior to competition kicking off, presentations for the BMLAC Combined Event, held the previous week, were awarded.  Trophies were presented to the winner in each age group and medals awarded to 2nd and 3rd overall placegetters.  All competitors received a Certificates of Participation which included full results and overall placings.

Conditions were tough for racing, with athletes running into a strong head wind.  Evie Taylor was the sole athlete to record PBs in all her events, earning her the PB Star of the Week.
