However the winner of the 2013 Ray McCormack Christmas Gift was Robert Weitsz with Steve Redmore a close second and Demi Utber third. The 100m invitation was won by Keegan Andrews. The 1000m is always a highlight with many athletes dressing up in the Christmas spirit and make there way around in the 1000m.

We were lucky enough to only have to cancel two competition nights with one due to excessive heat and the other with heavy rain and thunderstorms. Our athlete numbers were slightly down for the season 2014-2015 however our committee will try and market the local public schools to increase our sign on registrations for the following season. The representative season started with the Zone Championships at Glenbrook and with a week of torrential rain leading up to the carnival it looked like it was going to be delayed at the final hurdle, however it went ahead and was a great weekend where all our athletes performed outstandingly and the Glenbrook Little Athletics club should be commended for hosting a great carnival.
