Little Athletics returned to Saturday morning competition at Masons Lane Reserve, where athletes were greeted with an unfamiliar tail wind on the front straight.<\/p>\n
Many PBs were recorded on the track but the standout performance for the meet came from Under 10 athlete, Skyla Berryman who was sensational in the Girls 100m sprint, breaking a 52 year old Centre record. Skyla ran an impressive 14.62 seconds breaking the previous record of 14.80, set in the 1970\/71 season by Melissa Gage.<\/p>\n
After winning the 70m, 100m and 200m at the recent Region Carnival, and with a couple of weeks of training under her belt, Skyla will be looking at a top three placing at the upcoming State Champs.<\/p>\n
BMLAC PB Stars of the Week were awarded to Blaithe Fletcher, Hayden Tung and Phoenix Dart \u2013 recording the maximum PBs in all their events.<\/p>\n
