Treloar Shield Kicked Off in Campbelltown
Campbelltown hosted the first Treloar Shield competition of the season, held in windy and warm competition on Saturday afternoon. Many teenagers took the opportunity of competing as they continue their build up to the 2XU NSW All Schools Athletics Championships next week.
The women’s 100m was a tremendous preview of the 17 years 100m next week, when Kristie Edwards (UTN) and Maisie Stevens (AEA) raced off. Battling a 2.7m/s headwind, Edwards took a psychological advantage into next week, by winning 12.49 to 12.53. Another who will be in the mix next week was Sara Dougan (AEA) who ran 12.76.
