Congratulations to the 51 South Eastern athletes who braved thunder and lightening this weekend and took part in the Regional Carnival at Bankstown. Here are the results. Everyone did exceptionally well and hopefully had great fun in the process. A very big thank you to all the parents who helped out over the weekend too with place judging, and running the discus area etc etc. South Eastern fulfilled all of our compulsory duties very smoothly...thanks!

There was a fantastic sense of team spirit with all the kids supporting each other in their events. Well done to the girls' relay teams. Our junior team came 7th, and our senior girls came 4th.

17 athletes are progressing to the State finals in March, which is fantastic and up from 14 athletes in 2008.
