Congratulations to all those involved at Olympic Park on Wednesday 9th Sept. The supporters, the photographers, the videographers and of course, the athletes.

AGSV Finals - Team Announcement

Congratulations to all those selected as both competitors and reserves in the 2009 CGS Aths Team for the AGSV Finals!
You have all earned your place with hard work and dedication and should feel proud to wear the gold and double blue on Wed 9th Sept as we battle it out at Olympic Park.
Your coaches have deliberated for many hours before making selections and in many cases, it has been a very hard decision. Ultimately, we have tried to balance a competitive team with a good spread of athletes and we expect you to support all those selected.
A special mention must also go to the 30 or so athletes who have also competed at the Trial Meets but whose efforts will not be rewarded so publicly. Your contributions and rivalry throughout the season is vital to the success of the team. In many cases, those missing out are just as strong as the rest of the AGSV and would probably win medals too, given the chance. My message to you is to stick with Athletics - your chance will come and the taste of competition at Olympic Park will be even sweeter when it does.
