Sunday
Well......Day 3 at the Aussie Masters Champs was also cold and damp. Not so many MPACers performing today but it was quality not quantity that was on display..........
First up was Rhiannon Lester coming off an MPAC Open Club Record in the Long Jump on Friday she took out Gold in the Triple Jump (W35-39) with a leap of 9.79m.....think that’s a PB.
Then the Pres AKA Michael Bishop joined the party with an awesome Bronze Medal in the 5000m (M45-49) with a time of 17:43.
Rhiannon then joined her Vic teammates to take out Silver in the combined age 120+ 4x100m in a new Victorian Record time of 52.64.
I also think we missed another mega Walking performance yesterday with Kylie Irshad taking home a 2nd Gold Medal. This time in the 10000m Roadwalk with a fab time of 1:02........I have to say I have massive admiration for Kylie. That race walking caper is NOT easy!! Did I get this all right Kylie??

Monday
First of all, to round out the 4 days of competition we had our two Golden Girls competing today to great effect once again.
Kylie Irshad took out her 3rd Gold Medal this time in the 5000m Walk finishing in a great time of 29:01.76
Rhiannon Lester finished up with her 4th Gold Medal winning the Pentathlon with 2,149 points.
And I forgot to mention yesterday that Peter Wyatt came 8th in the 60-64 age group with a time of 33.87.
That rounds out a great event for our Oldies. Between us we got the following medals:
7 Gold 
2 Silver 
3 Bronze

It was a very good day for MPAC at the Relay Championships. We fielded the most teams we ever have. We received a number of comments that it was great to see us with more teams at the Relay Championships. Previously we had not attended much.
The highlight of the day was the WIN in the prestigious Open Men 4 x 100m!!! The Pride Performance crew of Matt Carter to Nathan Riali to Jasper Nettlefold and finally to Matt Rizzo had an exciting win. Awesome stuff guys and congratulations. As an aside they also broke the club record.
Our Open Men 4 x 800m also did well in placing third! The oldest was 18 years of age.
Other results were:
Open Men 4 x 1500m - 8th. Oldest was 19.
U14 Women 4 x 400m - 4th. Take vacant club record.
U14 Men 4 x 400m Team 1 DNF; Team 2 - 7th in heat

Progress on new athletics track at Civic Reserve (from the Mornington Little Athletics Website)
November 2, 2017

MLAC recently had contact from the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council about the proposed IAAF standard all-weather track to be built at Civic Reserve, Mornington. We have been advised that there will be 2 drop-in sessions at the Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, 350 Dunns Road Mornington on the following dates:

Tuesday 14th November from 3pm-7pm, and Saturday 18th November from 10am-2pm.

The Mt Martha Soccer Club will be joining us with 4 senior sized soccer pitches to be constructed at the same time. We will most likely share a pavillion, which will be built at some stage after the initial build. At this stage, lighting is only proposed for the soccer pitches, which is something we as a club, along with Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club will need to address.

The build will hopefully begin before the end of the financial year. Which will mean we wont have access to the track until the 2019/20 season. However, the senior club MPAC will be able to move in immediately, as they train all year round.

Please have a look at the proposed plans. The council are taking submissions of comments about the design until Friday 24th November. More information can also be found on the Shire's website here:
https://www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/About-Us/Major-Projects/Mornington-Civic-Reserve

 We are looking forward to this project beginning, and we wish to contribute financially in some way - whether it is contributing money towards lighting or the pavillion - so we will really amp up our fundraising efforts over the next year. If anyone knows of any community groups with funds to donate, please have them contact the club.

29/10/2017 MPAC Presentation Day
The club presentation was hosted this year by Richard and Stacey Does at their house. There was a Q & A by Jake Stevens with Matt Rizzo the 2017 Stawell Gift Winner and his coach Matt Carter. AFter that the awards were presented.

Sat 20/08/2016 Australian Cross Country Championships held at Stromlo in Canberra.
MPAC had two athletes compete in National Cross Country Championships.
Callen Goldsmith in the U18 Boys. Callen was able to do little training since the AV Albert Park race where he bruised tendons in his foot. In his 6km race Callen did 20:21 to place 39th out of 79 starters.
Mehdi Hassani competed in the U20 AWD as a T13(mildest form of vision impairment). In his 3km race he did 12:08 which was converted to 37.96% against what appears to be the 1500m record for his disability. This placed him 5th out of 13.
Well done to both boys on making the team and for their efforts on the day.

AV Shield 2014-15 Round 1.
The Div 2 Men's team did well scoring good points in most events. Lachy Freestone won the javelin and Shot Put. Jake Stevens won the 1500m and came 2nd in the 400m. Jamie Mayhew-Sharp 5th in 100m, 3rd in 400m, 3rd in 1500m and 4th in Javelin. Shane Bishop won the 3000m Steeple. Brett Anthony 2nd in 1500m. All they need now is someone to score points in the jumps events and walks (we need you Kyle Bird) and they should be very competitive as a team.
Other athletes also did well with Callen Goldsmith winning the U16 1500m and 2nd in the 2000m Steeple. Gabby Grech 6th in 1500m, Samantha Stewart should be placed 4th in u16 1500m once the results are fixed. Jeremy Fraser 2nd in 2000m Steeple. Ethan Anthony 4th in 2000m Steeple. Performance can be found here.

Australian Uni Games - Jake Stevens wins the 800m in 1:50. Great job.View video at

2014 AV Sandown Road Relays 12/07/2014
With best Open Male, Cam Hall, and best Open Female, Steph Kondogonis, injured the club's top teams still did well with a 3rd in Div 2 Men and a 5th in Div 3 Women. The Div 2 Men's results was helped by the inclusion of U18 Troy McGill and Jake Stevens opening his AV season. The women were fortunate that newcomer Julie Cann had just joined up and registered with AV 8 days prior or they would not have had a team. We have not had enough leg speed for the Road relays in our highest mens teams over the last several years. Usually we have been better at the longer events. However, this year we did well!
