                  2012 LAACT Championships - 23/24/25 March 2012 Results now available
                    The WLAC committee would like to express a heartfelt thanks to all the athletes who participated and performed so well at the ACTLA Championships over the weekend.

                    We would like to say an even bigger thank you to all the parents and carers who not only supported their athletes but also assisted the club in fulfilling its assigned duties at the carnival. Part of the fun and reward of athletics is the ability to actively participate and get to know the sport. We understand this sometimes requires great co-ordination and juggling against other competing commitments. Without your help running carnivals and encouraging our kids to be healthy and active would be more difficult.

                    Results from the weekend are now posted on the Results page.

                    New Club Records
                      More records were broken on our final meet for the season which adds to those already broken during the season. Congratulations to Batu Byrne, Lillian Van Ewyk, Capella Maguire and Keely Small who broke various club records on 17th March 2012. For these and a list of the other records broken this season, please go to our Club Records page.

                      Woden Carnival
                        Thanks to all athletes for attending the Woden Carnival. And what started as a cool and damp early morning turned into a warm and sunny day with a good time had by all. The WLAC committee would like to thank all parent helpers for their assistance through out the day.
