PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF . . . In 2017, a quiet 13 year old named Imogen (pictured below) joined us at Block Athletics.

Imogen recently claimed 3rd place in the U19 Beach Sprint Final #Aussies2022 - A huge Congratulations from all of us at Block! We can’t wait to see that national medal 🥉when you get back to the West. Imogen went on to claim another bronze in the open women's sprint relay and 4th in the U19’s flags final! What a fantastic few days of racing against the best in the country. Well done Imogen!
MACY DUSTS OFF THE SAND

WE DID SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT IN 2019:
THE 'AROUND THE BLOCK' 400M RACE
Our 400m 'Around the Block' race saw Charlie hold off twenty other Block Athletes, as he cruised to victory in the one lap sprint event. Charlie's newly
discovered determination paid off, as
he was a convincing winner on the day and took home our unique athletics track shaped award. This win topped off an excellent week for Charlie, who again improved his performances at his school athletics carnival.
