NARRE Warren little athletes were happy to be back at the Dandenong Little Athletics Centre on Saturday morning, full of enthusiasm after the bad weather of the previous week.
A full program of events greeted the athletes this week and everyone was raring to go.
Christopher Fenton added to his club records in the 800m and 1500m this season with a win in the under 13s 1300m Steeplechase. Fenton ran 4:47.53 breaking the old record of 4:48.80, which was created by a young Michael Riseley in March 2002. Riseley currently plays for Casey Scorpions and is the brother of Jeff Riseley who is in training for the 2012 London Olympics.
