📣 Southland Champs athletes please read as slight time changes.

🔺️🔺️ATTENTION🔺️🔺 ️Entries are now closed for this weekend and there will be a couple of changes to the program due to entry numbers. Please be prepared for the program to potentially run ahead of time ⏪️⏰️, or if there are delays, behind time ⏩️⏰️.

Below are a couple we can highlight, but please pay attention to announcements 📢 made at the track over the weekend.

First on the track tomorrow, Day 1, will be the 1500m, with lower numbers of 13/14's, all grades will likely run together at 10am. This will then allow the Senior 1000m to start early, and likewise the Senior 60m and following Junior 100m races.

On Day 2, we will bring forward the 14B/14G Long Jump to 1030am, to allow the 11B/11Gs to do Long Jump at 1100am, to avoid the clash with 11B Shotput at 1130am.

It looks like the weather is going to be good, Saturday is sunny ☀️ with cloud 🌤 increasing, 17°C, with westerly winds increasing during the day, changing to south westerly and a chance of rain 🌦 on Sunday, 14°C. It is Southland, so please come prepared for all weather conditions 😁

We are looking forward to seeing everyone there for a great weekend of competition!! 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️
