Pre-Season - get started!
The 2013 AGSV Aths Season commences in Term 3, but serious athletes are already commencing some pre-season training. Supplementing your Winter Sport competition with some strength and conditioning work (especially for sprinters/throwers/jumpers) can give you a head start for the relatively short AGSV season. Distance runners should also be building their base fitness so they can add speed and strength to their existing endurance once the season begins in earnest. Don't underestimate the value of a gentle run to improve your cardio fitness and also avoid injury caused by a sudden increase in track work in August!
If you would like any specific training programmes, speak to Mr. Rayner or the One Wish Team at the gym at lunchtimes. In addition, some senior boys might like to take advantage of Monday Afternoon's with Gregor Evans, who is building our 4x400m team with some grass track and hills sessions.
Every little bit helps!
For those who are interested in planning their training in advance here is the link to the 2013 Season Schedule.

2011 Season underway
Well done to all those who competed in the first AGSV Trial Meet at Doncaster on Saturday August 13th.
Result from the weekend will be placed near the entrance to the Gym and also on this website (see Results and Records section on the right hand side).
There are still several events where we are yet to see CGS Athletes post a performance and plenty where the Finals spot is wide open.
Make sure you give your result (best jump/throw/time) to a CGS Staff member on the day to ensure you remain in consideration.
In the events where performances are very close, preference will be given to those athletes who have trained and competed most consistently.
