Annabelle Yorke, from the club’s under-10 division recently competed at a carnival in Dapto.

She finished second in her 1100m walk, second in the 200m, second in the 800m and third in the 400m (competing up a division in this race in the under-11s). 

Matthew Arregui has been selected in the under-11 NSW boys team for the Trans Tasman Challenge in January at Campbelltown.

His selection came off the back of some strong performances at Trials on November 4, including first in the 100m with a time of 13.54, seventh in the 200m with a time of 29.49 and seventh in the long jump with 4.02 metres.

Arregui qualified in all these events and in high jump.

Another Bowral athlete, Bela Seville, was selected as a reserve for the NSW team, after finishing eighth in the under-12 high jump with 1.25m, as well as setting some Personal Bests in the 200m and 400m.
