This is the third time in 2014 that Corey has earned this honour and it is once again a well deserved one. He might have only turned 12 a couple of months ago but he walked like a veteran, his time taking over a minute off Kyle Swan's club record of 55:18 (actually set when Kyle was only 11 so it was pretty outstanding itself). Corey Dickson last Saturday at Middle Park - a young walker with a big future WHAT'S COMING UP The Victorian 50km championship will be the centrepiece four our next VRWC races next Sunday. This must be entered via the AV portal http://athsvic.org.au/event/2014-av-walk-series-50km-walk/ and it is open to all currently registered Athletics Victoria walkers.

VRWC ROAD RACES, MIDDLE PARK, SATURDAY 6 SEPTEMBER Our VRWC races on Saturday were very well attended with 57 competitors testing themselves out over various distances in wonderful early spring conditions. As is usual at the end of the season, some of our younger walkers tested themselves out over longer distances but none better than 12 year old Corey Dickson and 13 year old Hayden Walmsley who both successfully completed the longest event on offer - the 10km. Corey might have only turned 12 a couple of months ago but he walked like a veteran, recording a wonderful 53:56, taking over a minute off Kyle Swan's club record of 55:18 (actually set when Kyle was only 11). Hayden, who was our walker of the week last week, also walked fanastically for his final time of 1:00:48. Further down in distance in the 5km, Adam Garganis (22:56) and Reese Walmsley (23:50) also showed good late season form. And how can you go past Heather Carr - now that she has turned 65, she is rewriting the club records there - this week a W65 3km record with her time of 16:30. Race results follows.
