AVSL Rd1: NEW SEASON STARTS WELL AT THE VALLEY

By the end of competition the Valley was listed 5th on the 10 team Premier League ladder. This gave our club 6 valuable points for the Round. A year ago, DVAC finished Round 1 in 8th position and earned only 3 points. It was a long hard slog before DVAC worked clear of the threat of relegation and finished the 2020/ 2021 season in 5th place. This year we are much better situated to build toward a top four spot on the ladder and the right to take part in the AVSL finals.

Jaryd wins Silver in 5000m

Jaryd Clifford was in shock. As he crossed the line in second place in the men’s 5000m T13, the 22-year-old was physically exhausted. He staggered around, briefly congratulated his competitors, and then, as the commentator David Culbert put it, Clifford went off for a moment to lose his lunch.

Sarah Leeming was the 2021 winner of the Binnak Bowl. To sweeten the deal Maryann Murray had filled the glass ‘Bowl’ with Chocolates. Sarah stormed home to take the lead inside the final 200m.

XCR'21 Round 2: Lardner Park

Seventeen DVAC athletes travelled to Lardner Park, Warragul for the second round of the XCR'21 season and were well rewarded for their efforts over a tough and testing Cross Country course. Set on the 300 acres of Lardners Park, Warragul, the course wound its way through steep hills, across a ditch with wet and slippery patches as well as a fence that had to be cleared before the runners headed back down to the finish line.
