MUAC enjoys strong start to Shield season

AV Shield

Season 2011-2012 has settled into its paces now after round seven, with only one of those rounds being abandoned because of a washout. It was a relatively slow start to the season for MUAC, struggling to get many numbers out in the early rounds, particularly in the women’s divisions but that is well in the past now with ladders after round seven looking to show Women Division 1 sitting in second place and Men Division 1 also in second place in a rotating battle for first against Athletics Essendon.
The main key to our success this season is getting athletes to fill as many events as possible and I’m thrilled to see athletes from all training squads are taking that on board and trying new events. Distance runners doing walks, jumpers doing throws, sprinters doing jumps, pole vaulters doing sprints. I know that many at this club have their pet events and like to focus on their priority so it’s great to see those athletes putting in the extra effort to get their team ready for finals in early February, before the focus turns back to the pet events for state championships.
We have just passed the halfway point in the season and finals are only six rounds away. Remembering that for an athlete to be eligible for finals they must partake in four rounds of competition and have participated in the event they wish to do at finals. So if you are yet to compete or have only come down once or twice this season, I urge you to join us again before the Christmas break and set the wheels in motion for what looks to be a promising year at finals against the best clubs in Victoria.
