SSV Track and Field State Championships – Oct

On Monday the 17th October, I spent the day at Albert Park Lakeside Athletics Stadium to represent Fitzroy High School in the SSV State Championships. My first event was the open age 2000m Steeplechase in blustery conditions, in which I won the race by less than half a second. The next event of the day was the under 16 800m, where I finished in second place in a tight finish with a time of 2 minutes. By this stage, I was starting to feel it, but I overcame my fatigue and ran in the 1500m, finishing in 2nd place to the same athlete who beat me in the 800m. I look forward to seeing some more maroon and gold at the championships next year!
