Congratulations to all the medalists from our inaugural Club Multi Championships held on Friday night!
The night was a huge success… thankfully most events were completed before the rain came!
A very big thank you to our Age Managers and Committee for entering results and calculating the points this weekend.
We’re excited to have the Club Multi’s as a regular event on our annual calendar!
Our Canterbury athletes have done us proud at the Littles State Qualifying meet at Sylvania Waters.
The team spirit and camaraderie amongst our athletes is not something that can go unmentioned… new friendships were made and old friendships strengthened on the sidelines. The cheering and support for teammates was truly heartwarming – the screaming for the boys 4×100m relay was next level!!
A special mention to all of the athletes for whom this was their first carnival representing Canterbury. We hope the experience you had ignited a little spark that inspires you to continue, and come back to try again next season.
Across our team, our athletes achieved 41 personal best results!
We’re excited at the number of athletes who have, and are likely to qualify for the State Champs – you should be really proud of yourselves!

A big thanks to all of the parents for the time and effort you all put in. Huge thanks to our trusty CLAC Team Managers, Committee Members/Age Managers, coaches and parents for their work not only on the day but in the lead up to the event and for the transporting of tents etc back to the clubhouse. It’s a true team effort!
Most importantly, we’re extremely proud of every single athlete who wore the blue and white for Canterbury and gave their best on the day. Sometimes it goes our way and other days, not so much. But that’s ok, that’s competition. As long as you had fun and tried your best – that’s what it’s all about.
A final call out for any photos to be sent to centre.manager@clac.org.au. We’ll be posting the photos we have on our Facebook page over the next day or so. We’d love to include yours!
We’d like to wish all 62 of our CLAC athletes taking part in the Region 8 Littles State Qualifying Meet (SQM) tomorrow and on Saturday the very best of luck!! 
We have a number of athletes who haven’t competed at this level before! It’s an honour to represent our club & we’ll do all that we can to support you 
What we expect from our athletes is that they try their best, show good sportsmanship and most importantly, HAVE FUN! We can’t wait to see the blue & white in action!
Results will be posted on the notice board at the ground & available online as soon as possible at http://www.littlearesults.com/Region8/
A reminder that there will be no Friday night competition at Campbell Field tomorrow evening.
We have made the decision to cancel competition tonight due to the unpredictable nature of the weather today… 
If you have purchased uniforms this week, they can be collected from Campbell Field during training on Monday and Wednesday evening.
*Please note there will be no competition next week due to the Littles State Qualifying meet on 5/6 February. We will return to competition on Friday 12 February.
Have a great weekend!
This Friday will see the debut of the CLAC Club Multi Championship!
The Club Multi Championships is a Combined Events competition, which is an age appropriate version of the heptathlon/decathlon.
Held on one night only, athletes will compete in their age group across all events on their program. Athlete’s performances will earn points in each of their events (based on the LANSW Combined Events Scoring Tables). The title of Club Multi Champion is awarded to the athlete with the highest accumulation of points across their events. Competing in all events is essential to achieving a good result in the multi/combined event format.
The events for each age group is as follows:
U6: 50m, 300m, Discus
U7: 50m, 500m, Shot Put, Long Jump
U8: 100m, 700m, 60m Hurdles, Discus, Long Jump
U9: 100m, 800m, 60m Hurdles, Shot Put, Long Jump
U10: 100m, 800m, 60m Hurdles, Discus, High Jump
U11: 100m, 1500m, Shot Put, Javelin, Long Jump
U12: 100m, 1500m, Discus, Triple Jump, High Jump
U13: 100m, 1500m, Shot Put, Javelin, Long Jump
U14-17: 100m, 1500m, Discus, Triple Jump, High Jump
The Tiny Tots program will remain unchanged.
Results will be announced as soon as they are available – which we hope to be in the days following the competition. The first three place getters in each age group/gender will receive a Championship Medal at the end of the season to recognise their achievement.
If Friday night is cancelled due to weather, the Club Multi Championships will take place on our next competition night – Friday, 12 February.
Good luck to everyone for the Club Multi Championship event!

Unfortunately we will need to cancel tonight’s final competition night for the year due to the unavailability of a large number of our regular volunteers. With a 90% chance of rain forecast it is highly likely that the weather would lead us to the same outcome!

A huge thank you to the athletes and their families who attended our Track Meet on Wednesday night at Bankstown.
