An annual event for some years, Hills athletes (along with their familes) headed south to Nowra to compete in the State Multi Championships. Athletes competed in 6 events over the 2 day carnival in sprint, middle distance, throws and jumps. Times and distances are converted to points for each event, with the final event being the 800m. Every second counts in the 800m, and this year we saw some great runs with our competitors climbing the points table. The fence line is proped up with supporters shouting encouragement to the althletes as they complete laps.
Many of our athletes achived PB's in their events, and our athletes achieved our best results in some years on the podium and in the top 8 finishers. Silver medal - Denzal. Bronze medal - Gabbie, Emma and Ashley.
Next year the State Multi's will be held in Wagga Wagga in the first weekend of March. New families looking to experience this fun weekend are welcome.

North West Metropolitan Zone - Presidents Report
Posted February 2, 2010
President's Zone Report
Well the 2010 Zone Carnival has come and gone and what a great result 126 athletes have progressed through to Region from 254 athletes who entered well done athletes you did yourself and our club proud, and I look forward to seeing many of you move through to Region and then State, good luck to you all…
I understand from all reports that this was the best zone ever held at our ground and it was simply because of the assistance from so many people who made it happen.
But it all starts at the top with the Zone co-ordinator Peter Mylonas and his team who led the charge along with all the fantastic senior officials who worked non-stop over the 2 days to ensure everything ran smoothly, along with all the other clubs in our zone who provided officials and helpers over the 2 days (there are too many to mention!), I say a huge thank you to you all, it was great to catch up and work with you all...
But just as importantly are the people associated with this club who also put in many many hours both leading up to and during the carnival, therefore I wish to thank a lot of people but none more so than Sandra and Andrew Antal our Championship Officers who have done a fantastic job to pull this together along with spending many hours putting our roster together to ensure that we reduced the inconvenience to all parents having to turn up when their children were not competing and then acting as Team Managers on the week-end for our club, well done guys.
Behind the scenes there is a lot of work involved in putting on such an event, and we could never have done it without the fantastic support of the following people, Dennis Coker who had the track looking its best and spent all day last Friday getting it marked and cut, Steve Denning, Stephen Ralphs and Jonathon Eagleton along with Dennis who were at the ground at 5.30am on Saturday and again on Sunday getting the ground all set up, then packing it all up at the end of the carnival.
To Bruce Robinson, Ray Shina and John Watts who spent the entire 2 days making sure the canteen ran smoothly along with managing the logistics of the BBQ, not to mention the hours spent outside of the carnival by Bruce ordering, picking up and delivering everything to the ground a huge thanks guys.
A huge thanks to our other officials who spent all weekend making it the best zone ever, Trish Bright our Information Officer, Michelle Jackson the Chief ground announcer, Geoff Bryant our Clash Manager, a huge thanks to Keith Gray who was our Circular Track Chief who was there both days running the timing gates on the circular track, Bill Candiloro and Mary-Anne Tennant who marshalled the boys, Dennis and Ellen Coker our walks Chiefs and Cathy and Ray Shina walks judges, Ray Raynor Discus Chief and Nicole Raynor who recorded, Steve Denning High Jump Chief and Joanne Thomson who recorded.
To the ice cream lady (I didn’t catch her name!) on Saturday who spent all day selling ice creams and sold in excess of $600.00 and was happy to do so a huge thanks to you…
Also a huge thanks to all the other parents & helpers who spent time, whether on the track, in the canteen or wherever else needed, but in particular Chris Pierce and my wife Lisa who filled the breech every time I needed help, and to Greg Buchanan (our chief starter) on the triple jump you were great.
After the weekend I can only come to one conclusion I am the President of a fantastic club with so many great people both past and present and associated with other clubs in our Zone who just keep stepping up and making my job so much easier I say thank you and I look forward to seeing you all at Region.
Regards,
Brooke
