Maccabi Athletics – Zac shatters Aussie record

Over the weekend, the Victorian Masters Club Track and Field championships were held at Doncaster.
Maccabi had 2 competitors.

Myer Vorchheimer in the M 80-84 age group and John Gould in the M 70-74 age group.

Both athletes excelled – with Myer competing in 7 events over the two days! Winning 2 gold (Long jump and Triple jump), 2 silver (60m sprint and Hammer Throw), 2 bronze (200m sprint and Shot Put) and a 4^th place in the 100m! …… in a most incredible performance of strength, speed and agility for an 80 year old – a true legend!

WELL DONE TO BOTH WONDERFUL ATHLETES!

Sunday training was a BLAST! (in a number of senses..)

We commend and congratulate the 25 junior athletes who braved the wind and rain and trained like true champions – pounding lap after lap of the track and those who leapt with no fear into the long jump pit!

Thanks to the parents and grandparents who accompanied the athletes – many of whom did their own training/running/walking around the grounds and a BIG thanks to coaches Ilia, Dave, Jarrod and Ben – who withstood the rain to ensure the athletes enjoyed their training!
