ROUND 4 OF SHIELD COMPETITION AT NUNAWADING ON SATURDAY WEEK
Round 4 of shield competition will be held at Nunawading on Saturday week, November 14.
There are still a number of registered athletes who have not competed in the first three rounds. Remember that you must compete in at least 3 rounds of Shield Competition in order to be eligible to compete for the Club in the finals. We also need more athletes taking part to make sure that all our teams make it to the finals!
THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS
A big thank you to all those who have helped as volunteer officials over the first 3 rounds of shield competition. Box Hill has helped run the pole vault in round 1, the triple jump in round 2 and the discus in round 3. If we get enough volunteers, then each person will only have to help out once throughout the season.
ALL SCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Good luck to all the Box Hill athletes who are competing in the Victorian All Schools Championships this weekend. Hopefully Box Hill competitors can win a swag of medals!

We also had only one walker and no participants in the steeplechase. Hopefully we can fill our quota of athletes in the field events in round 4 (high jump, triple jump, hammer throw and shot put)
