The recent Narrandera Little Athletics Carnival featured a multitude of young athletes smashing several existing records.
The club’s first carnival in more than 20 years was a milestone for the club and its members, with multiple personal bests, club records and a long-standing record being broken.
The record-breaking athletes included Oliver Groat, who shaved just 0.1 seconds off the previous 70 metres race in a new record time of 12.51s (Previous: 12.52s).
Other record-breaking feats included:
Lane Henry: 700m Race Walk
New Record: 5:43.84s (Previous: 5:47.34)
Anna Burns: High Jump Scissor
New Record: 1.14m (Previous: 1.07m)
Freya Doyle: High Jump Scissor
New Record: 1.07m (Previous: 1.05m)
Pixie Hodgson: Shot Put MC: 6.53m (Previous: 6.32m)
Javelin MC: 17.92m (Previous: 11.20m)
Levi Collins: High Jump Scissor
Equalled Record: 0.95m
Records are made to be broken and Harry Vidler did exactly that when he smashed a 30-year-old existing record.
He shattered the previous longstanding Discus record of 21.40m set in 1996 by Mark Powell by throwing a massive 23.65m.
The club congratulated all the athletes who made the town proud at the carnival, saying their results were a fantastic reward for the hard work they had shown throughout the season.
