Illawong High Velocity Meet – The Ridge Athletics Track; 27 Nov 2021
Andres represented UTS Norths in the 100m and 200m Open sprints.
The weather was attrocious – very gusty winds, air temperature of around 15C with wind chill taking that below 10C. With delays on track – it was very difficult for the athletes to remain warm, especially those in later sections.
Men 100m Open
Andres ran a good PB time (with legal wind!), but was disappointed not to run sub-12s.
Timed final (section 13) | 12.07 (+1.9); PB | 89th overall |
Men 200m Open
Another good PB, in increasingly difficult conditions. The track lost power half-way through the heats and so those athletes waiting for the later heats were left out in the freezing cold and windy conditions for nearly 45 minutes!
Once again, Andres was disappointed not to run sub-25s for the first time, but was still happy with taking nearly 0.5s off his PB.
Timed final (section 11) | 25.18 (+2.0); PB | 43rd overall |
