Old girls: St Augustine's College students Layla (Year 4) and Maddison (Year 1) Old are the feature family this week, competing at Under-11 and Under-8 level. Maddie's favourite event is the 70 metres and vortex, while Layla loves the 800m and javelin. Both the girls’ parents did little athletics as kids and their dad's family are avid runners. Layla also does dance, basketball, cooking classes and netball, while Maddison has other interests in dance, basketball and netball.

Kyabram Little Athletics records and personal bests were set at a great rate at the November 16 meeting of the club.
