Saturday's Allcomers Meet saw all clubs with lower competitor numbers as a result of the LAA Regional titles.

St George was represented by who again performed well, with a result that was just outside her pole vault personal best that she set while winning the State U18 championship last week.

The delayed start to Saturday's Allcomers meeting gave some reprieve to the competitors who made the journey to battle both the elements and fellow athletes. Not far from the SOPAC track, the Parramatta Road temperature gauge was still reading 39 degrees at 6pm. Some track officials commented the track temperature had reached mid forties earlier in the afternoon, so a good decision by ANSW to move back the program of events.

The warm windy conditions made seasons best performances hard to come by, but once again SGDAC competitors put in top efforts all round with several members achieving top-5 finishes in their event. claimed 2nd in the women's open triple jump, finished 3rd in the open women's javelin throw, and took out the open women's 1500m in convincing fashion by finishing almost 100m ahead of the next athlete.

was back in action for the first time in the new year and equalled her season's best performance coming 4th in the women's pole vault. finished 4th in the men's C-Grade 1500m with a good PB. ran on gamely throughout the men's B-Grade 1500m, and after doing all of the front running was put under siege in the last 200m by a fair number of sitters, before finishing with a time just outside his season best. produced another solid performance in the men's 1500m.

Congratulations to who has smashed the Open Women's Club Record for 800m today in winning the 800m event at the Allcomers meet with a time of 2:05.49. This breaks Bridey's previous record of 2:09.18 that was set just nine days ago.
