Little A’s to Wollongong in 2014 Hay Little Athletics competitors are having great success competing against larger clubs outside of Hay. While the object of the local competition is beat your own personal best scores, outside competitions are about beating your competition. At a recent athletics meet in Deniliquin, our local little sports people won many of their track and field events, with Jenson Hargreaves (U8) and Emily Hill (U7) winning their age championships. The zone carnival held at Leeton at the end of November saw seven Hay participants gain entry to the Regional Competition to be held at Wollongong in February 2014. Success at the regionals qualifies participants to compete at State level, and then onto the National track. Is it possible there are future Olympians training at the Hay Park? Only time will tell. Jenson won the age championship trophy for his age group U8 at Deniliquin. Emily Hill won the championship for her age group U7.
