Maccabi Athletics Club finished second on the Athletics Victoria Shield League’s division 5 ladder after the second and final play-offs round last weekend, thanks to some great efforts from the club’s track and field athletes.
That result, based on consistently strong performances throughout the summer, and a good showing in the play-offs, will likely elevate Maccabi to division 4 next season, to be confirmed by Athletics Victoria.
In play-offs action last Saturday, Keira Donner (pictured, centre) clocked 29.44 seconds in the 16 girls 200m, and 3:08.45 in the 800m.
