📢 Important Update Regarding Monday's Event 20/10/26 Records & Results
Hi Everyone,
At Bairnsdale Little Athletics, we are dedicated to ensuring a fair, accurate, and encouraging environment for all of our young athletes as they strive to achieve their personal bests.
During a recent review of our event results, we identified some inconsistencies in how certain events were measured. Standardized, precise measuring is essential—especially when it comes to officially awarding personal bests or centre records.
Because we cannot guarantee absolute accuracy across these specific event instances, the decision has been made to cancel/nullify the record attempts recorded during these impacted events.
We understand this may be disappointing news for the athletes who gave it their all, and we want to emphasize a few key points:
Focus on Participation & Effort: While official record recognition is paused for these specific instances, the hard work, speed, and distance our athletes achieved on the day still demonstrate fantastic personal progress!
Continuous Improvement: We are actively taking steps to refresh measuring procedures and provide additional guidance for our valuable volunteers and officials so that all future measurements remain accurate and consistent.
Moving Forward: All upcoming events will proceed as normal under refreshed guidelines, and our athletes will have plenty of future opportunities to challenge records.
Thank you to all our parents, helpers, and athletes for your understanding, patience, and continued support in keeping Little Athletics fair and fun for everyone!
If you have any questions or would like clarification, please feel free to reach out to a committee member.
