Young athlete Riley Ironside leapt to his fifth club record this season when the Kyabram Little Athletics Centre returned last Friday.

Riley broke a seven-year club record in the under-10 boys triple jump by 14cm, jumping a massive 8.49m. The previous record was held by Hayden Gemmill in the 2004-05 season when he jumped 8.35m.

His other records were in high jump, long jump, triple jump, shot put and 70m sprint.

Kyabram Little Athletics also had five teams compete in the Victorian state relays at Lakeside Stadium in Melbourne on January 28 in very hot conditions.

The under-14 boys team (B. Whitford, L. Nedelijkovich, B. Armstrong, K. Genio) competed in 4x100, 4x200 and medley, making it to the final and finishing sixth in the medley after some very fierce competition.

The under-10 girls team (J. Wright, B. Whitford, S. Olivier, A. Hargadon) ran steady in the heats of 4x100 and 4x200, but unfortunately did not make it into finals.

In the teams only race, the under-9 to 12 girls (J. Wright, D. Emery, B. Hargadon, J. Emery) gave it their all in the hot conditions and finished eighth in the medley final.

The first race for the under-12 mixed team (L. Hapurona, J. Whitford, J. Lothian, D. Lawson) saw them in the final of 4x200. After completing the 4x100 heats in seventh position, the team ran seventh in the final also.

Finally, the under-13 mixed team (G. Dorward, O. Connelly, L. Ironside, A. Brasier) ran in the 4x100 and then the 4x200, in which they finished seventh in the final.

A reminder that this Friday night there will be a family barbecue with sausages and drinks to buy following the program which starts at 5pm.
