Regional Championship - Port Hacking, NSW - 16/17 February 2008

From the Region championship that was held at Port Hacking on the 16/17 February, Helensburgh LA had 4 athletes going through to the State championship (only the first 3 in all finals are qualified for State).

These are:

• Timothy Burgmann (U9B) who finished 1st in the 70 m with 10.4 sec (he did the same thing last year too) and 2nd in the 100 m with 15.0 sec;
• Jaime Cottrell-Dormer (U/10G) who finished 3rd at the 800 m with 2-49.3 sec (she did the same thing last year too);

• Sarah Bowden (U14G) who finished 3rd in Javelin with 25.4 m.

We also had Luke Taylor (U/8B) winning Gold in the 60 m Hurdles, but the Region championship is as far as U/8's can go.
