BOX HILL WIN WOMEN’S UNDER 16 SHIELD PREMIERSHIP
Congratulations to the Box Hill under 16 girls team that comprehensively won the Athletics Victoria Shield Premiership on Saturday.
Thanks also to Chris Muirden for his help with team management and for his report on the final below:
Under 16s win Shield Final
Congratulations to all our girls who took part in yesterday’s final at Olympic Park and thank you also to all those girls who took part in events during the season to help get them there.
We ended up comprehensive winners with our nearest rival Knox 178.5 points behind.
While there were many highlights on a hot day, a few who made a massive contribution were:
Zoe Schwerkolt who did four events including the walk, steeple and 1500m and clocked up around 120 points on her own.
Nana Owusu-Afriyie and Jackie Fredriksen, both U16s again next year, who had great runs in the 100m and then finished 1-2 in the Long Jump before being part of our gun 4x100m relay team that clocked 50.05 seconds.
Emily Goessler who did the difficult 1500 and 400m double and again impressed.
Emily Taylor-Brown who completed a rare Javelin, PV, Discus treble with distinction.
Kate Boulter who ran up a few age groups and took on former state junior champion Mikaela Davis in the 400m and pushed her all the way before scoring big points in the discus.
Thank you also to all those girls who came in for just one event and racked up a few points to make sure we were never in danger.
Hopefully next year we can expand on our dominance and claim titles in both the U16s and U18 age groups.

BOX HILL WOMEN 2ND IN DIVISION 1 PREMIERSHIP
After leading halfway through the program our Division 1 women’s team finished 2nd in the shield final. Despite some great efforts on the day, the injury, illness and unavailability of several key athletes took its toll at the end of the day. There were a number of outstanding efforts, but special mention to Viv Lee who took part in five events and to June Petrie who came as a spectator but ended racing in the 1500m after we had a late withdrawal. It was disappointing not to defend our women’s premiership, but we went close and can hopefully win back the title next year.

After closing in on the leading teams after the 1500m, our division 1 men’s team faded to 4th in the shield finals on Saturday. Unfortunately weaknesses in some events and the unavailability of of several athletes mean that we were unable to match the top teams at the end of the day. But congratulations to all those athletes who represented the club so well on the day.
