The Victorian Race Walking Club

The Summer Season occurs between October and March and coincides with the long hot Australian summer. The emphasis in on track walking and most races are over the shorter track distances. There is also a strong walking presence in the 'Interclub' Track Competition with all Athletics Teams fielding walkers in their regular competitions.

For this reason, VRWC only holds a small number of events during this period.

VICTORIAN TEAMS 5000M TRACK WALK CHAMPIONSHIPS, MENTONE, WEDNESDAY 31 JANUARY 2018

The Victorian Teams 5000m Track Walk Championships were contested in almost perfect conditions last Wednesday evening at the Dolomore Track in Mentone. The annual event was well supported with 3 men’s teams (KNA, MEN and VMA) and 2 women’s teams (KNA and SAN) and all team finished the required 3 walkers.

The men’s competition was won by Knox Atletics Club, with Mark Blackwood (23:22), Corey Dickson (24:20) and Angus Hay (32:31) showing the way. Corey, in particular, walked excellently, recording a 23 second PB. A special mention also to 15 year old Nikolay Djordjevic who walked an excellent 26:55 in his first outing over the distance.

The young team of 14 year old Charlotte Hay (a big PB of 25:50), 15 year old Jasmin Hass (28:47) and 16 year old Kathleen O’Mahony (32:30) showed that age is no barrier in such events. Fastest time went to Rebecca Henderson of Mentone (23:47) but alas she was their sole representative. Big PBs to Isabella Dingli (34:50) and Alannah Dingli (35:05) helped their Sandringham club to second place.

AV/VRWC TRACK WALKS, CLIFTON HILL, WEDNESDAY 18 OCTOBER

Round 2 of the AV Shield competition was completed last Wednesday evening, with 5000m and 3000m walks on offer as part of the VRWC meet at the George Knott Athletics Track in Clifton Hill. A good turnout of 44 walkers ensured lots of good racing on a warm Melbourne evening.

The 10,000m walk was first up at 6:30PM, with Quentin Rew taking fastest time with 44:33, ahead of junior walkers Jemima Montag, Kyle Swan and Bec Henderson. The 5000m and 3000m walks kicked off at 7PM, with Adam Garganis well in control in the 5000m and doing a fine 21:33.6 ahead of Jason Kozica (23:29.4). Stuart Kollmorgen was quickest in the 3000m with 15:16, ahead of William Dynes (15:40).
