STATE TITLES WRAP
Hi Parents after a long hot weekend I hope everyone has recovered. Firstly, thank you all for all your support, hard work and just being a parent there for your and other kids this season providing the opportunity to compete at the NSW State Titles. Win lose or draw I was a proud parent along with you . Although not everyone was happy with their results and performances, I was filled with pride watching them representing themselves and our club. The Randwick Botany team of 23 kids held its own against all clubs and looking at all our competitors this year I am sure the kids and club will continue to prosper and again be the No:1 centre in NSW again. It was amazing to see the talent in our younger kids and them having the opportunity to experience their first State Titles. We are looking forward to them improving and being on the podium next year and part of the clubs success and growth,
OVERALL 12 MEDALS from 21 kids competing which was a great ratio that compared and beat many of the larger centres.
🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 5 GOLD MEDALS
🥈🥈🥈🥈 4 SILVER MEDALS
🥉🥉🥉 3 BRONZE MEDALS
🥇🥇🥇🥇Lachlan
U10 Boys , did the “nearly” impossible 4 gold from 4 events. 70 m 100 m Discus Shot put. I am sure he will be in a handful of elite kids that achieved that feat, what more can I say 😊🏆A true Champion who broke some amazing RB records. To see Lachlan turn and run to Ethan for a hug after the 70 m epitomizes the young man and teammate you are.
Will be our Athlete of the year and well its well-deserved for a tremendous season.

U10 although not the 4 gold from last season I am amazed by his results coming off an injury then training his heart out and the 3 medals from 3 rate above last year’s 4 . The 200 m late Sunday was such a gritty win to finish the weekend. Another true Champion and great clubmate 🏆Im an sure Ethan will be back to his best for the school carnivals and the State better watch out. Well done and great season

⭐ U 9 LIV⭐ In your first season at little a,s and qualified for 4 events and finished as high as 5th in the long with 3:57 m and just missing the final for the 70m and 100m, 10 th overall by 0.01 which would have placed her 5th in the final . An exceptional year training the house down and the results were your reward.
Long jump 5th 3.57 m region 3.53 m
70 m – 10th – 11.17 region 11.43
100m – 10th -15.69 region 15.78
⭐U9 RUBY⭐ – High jump was very competitive finishing in a tie with 1.00 m
The same height as 6th on a countback 7cm for a medal and would have placed 4th on her region jump.
High Jump – 13th 1.00 m region 1.06 m
⭐U9 DEON ⭐ – The U9 High jump was an exciting competition going down to the wire 1:15 m pipped for a medal by 5cm and 4th out of 24
An impressive display of jumping and I am sure he can win it next season improving from the region from 1.13 m. Had a setback during the season hurting his ankle and will get you down to train and win the u10 next year
⭐ U9 MATTHEW ⭐ -High jump 1:05 m 15th overall
Although did not jump as high as at the region he did himself proud. Unfortunately moving to Woolongong next season but we will see him at State again on the podium.
⭐ U 10 PAXTON ⭐ Dedicated and rewarded with a bronze medal at region with the RBLAC run of the weekend and although not happy with his Sate run was still an amazing achievement this year and trained the house down to give himself every opportunity , Chin up you went well , Thanks Damien
400 m – 20th -1.13.14 region 1.10.26
⭐ ALEXANDER ⭐ Did 2 totally different disciplines and first up was the 400 m where a false start and running 80 m did not help his run. Tried so hard and never gave up , he may have been disappointed but I wasn’t, All I can ask is that you try and YOU did. The discus on Sunday unfortunately didn’t go as planned and , all i can say it has happened to the best in the world and a great learning experience , Trained so hard and great to have you in our club this season. Your region throw would have been good enough for 8th
Discus – ND – REGION 22:78 M
400 m – 17th 1:15:82 region 1:13:28
⭐ U 11 HARRIET ⭐ Harriet had a wonderful season and it culumilated to a an amazing result at State where an improved jump got Harriet a highly commended 7th place . Not far away from the placegetters and sure we will be seeing Harriet pushing the top jumpers next year
High Jump – 7th 1.25 m region 1.23 m
⭐ U12 TARLIE ⭐ One of our jumping queens in the Long jump , Tarlie trained well and proud to see you in your first State titles . Improved so much this season and not far away to get the reward of her efforts
Long Jump – 19th – 3.77 m region 4:25 m
⭐ U12 AMELIE ⭐ Ran her heart out in a very hard age and event where the winner was just off the state record . Has improved in leaps and bounds the past few seasons and I can see success on the horizon in the near future . Might have to convince to run the 1500 m and 3000 next year as I think it suits your flowing style
800 m – 16th – 2:36:31 region 2:28:86
⭐ U12 JOSEPH ⭐ Young Joey a shy fellow whom I have so much respect for and in awe of his achievements and yet always being so humble, polite and a future club captain . To make Sate in 3 throwing events on one year is amazing and yet the Shot didn’t go well he did throw well in the Javelin and Discus against so much bigger kids , Your time will come stick to it and sure we will see you get a medal soon

Shot Put – 22nd – 9,72 m region 11.04 m

⭐ U13 SANJA ⭐The year of the State team selection and Sanja gave her self and opportunity of being selected by jumping a PB and unlucky finishing 5th on countback, Has improved every year and to make Sate 3 years straight is an achievement in itself . Well done and keep it up and success will follow
High Jump – 5th – 1.50 m region 1.49 m
⭐ U14 KENTA ⭐New to Athletics and a surprise packet that did so well and surprised so many. A great improvement in the triple from region and not far from his first State medal and would love to see him train in the jumps and sure will be on the podium if he keeps it up , A hot field in the 100 m but great to see Kenta improve his 100 m by 0.2 secs . Please come back next season !!!
Triple Jump – 5th – 11.43 m – region 10.91 m
100 m – 12th -12.30 region 12.51
⭐ U 14 JOSH ⭐ Josh didn’t have his best throw in the Shot but has been a Sate representative the past few years , Twisted between his love of football but hope to see him continue his throwing and hopefully running again next season. Your time will come just persist and im sure the giants wont be so big next year.
SHOT PUT – 10th 12.26 m region 13:92 m
⭐ U15 ZYAD ⭐Zyad new to Randwick Botany had a great year and it was seen in his improvements in both the 800m and 1500 m from region to State, Zyads 1500 m was an exceptional run and just behind the podium positions , He may have disappointed with 4th but I was proud to watch his become a middle distance champ this year. The 800 m was the highlight of the day where you destroyed the field and wish he in the fastest heat and would have pushed for a place . Will have a great school athletic season , Don’t be disappointed be proud of what you achieved .

1500 m – 5th – 4.07.55 region 4.08.87
⭐ U17 ERIN ⭐Young Erin has been ion the Randwick Botany centre from a very young age age and I am sure that she has been at State at least 5 times , A great improvement in her 800 m from region to State and would love Erin to do the 1500 m and 3000 m next season . Its not always the events you like that you go your best , A champion young lady and always a pleasure to see her represent our club.
