Thank you to everyone who supported the Caulfield SMR Super Raffle over the past week we raised $1112.00

Team Caulfield had 19 teams qualify and compete in the State Relay Championships on Saturday December 15^th.  We had some fantastic results, lots of fun and tough competition on a blustery Melbourne day which had rain, sunshine, storms and everything in between.

Of the 19 teams competing an amazing 14 of these made it through to the finals.  It is a great achievement to make it to the state championships so a big congratulations to all our athletes.  Our medal tally at the end of the day was three gold medals and four silver medals.  Quite a few of the teams were just outside the medals with four 4^th placings and two 5^th placings.

Gold Medals

• Under 10G 4 X 100
• Under 12G 4 X 200
• Under 14B 4 X 100

Silver Medals

The Junior Development Squad (JDS) gives U12 – U16 athletes an opportunity to gain new skills and improve technical competencies through participation in coaching and training sessions with some of Victoria’s leading coaches. Training with other keen and enthusiastic squad members is both fun and motivational and helps develop new friendships based on an enjoyment of athletics. The emphasis on learning new athletic skills and improving existing ones is in a friendly and supportive environment.
