The sun was out, the skies were blue and the track at Pakenham Little Athletics was ready for the young athletes to show how it’s done – despite the high temperature reached.
On Saturday, many athletes came down and brought their best performances to round out another successful day at Toomuc Reserve.
The 800 metres kicked the day off and this event did not disappoint with over 90 percent of athletes achieving personal bests.
Their legs were pumping as fast as their adrenalin and it was impressive to see how much effort they put into the first race of the program.
The hurdles were a highlight of the day with everyone from the littlest Under-6 athletes leaping over their hurdles to the eldest athletes making massive strides with many athletes making personal bests.
The highlight of this event was a very long-standing club record being broken by one of our fabulous Under-15 male athletes.
Well done Pakenham kids on a huge day of striving to be your absolute best on what was otherwise a scorching hot day.
