Several club records have been set in the first few weeks of the 2025-26 Gunnedah Athletics season, with one athlete beating their own record as well.
With the sessions held at Donnelly Fields on Saturday mornings as usual, three U17 records have been broken along with an U14 record and an U10 record.
Lacie Kleinschafer’s javelin throw of 23.72m eclipsed the previous record of 21.75m in the U17 girls age group, while her shotput distance of 9.8m edged out the previous record of 9.79m.
In the next couple of weeks, Lacie broke her own javelin record with a throw of 26.23m while also setting a discus record with a throw of 24.71m.
Also in the U17 girls age group, Claire Dowe’s high jump figure of 1.55m was 10cm higher than the previous record.
In the U14 boys, Josh Spinks’s time of 4:50.27 in the 1500m was nearly 30 seconds quicker than the previous record.
In the U10 boys, Rivah McDonald’s long jump distance of 4.35m was 15cm longer than the previous record.
