AMA NATIONAL POSTAL RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS 2011

February 2011 is the month of AMA Postal Relays. The first big day is on Sunday 6th February at Duncan Mackinnon Athletic track where all throws relays will take place plus any jumps or running relays for teams that turn up (Start time 1 pm). All being well a BBQ will also be held. Throws relays will be on every Sunday at DMP and track relays can be run if teams come. Several venues will also conduct relays throughout February.

The National Relay Championships shall involve only the following relays in 2011 for both Men and Women.

4 x 100 M; 4 x 400 M; 4 x 800 M; 4 x 800 M walk

Track relays involve four competitors and Field relays three. Relays are conducted in 10 year age groups (eg M30-39 and W40-49). All participants must be currently registered VMA athletes on the day of competition (ie money in hands of the registrar not just at the venue).

The rules and recording sheets are available on the web and from venue managers. A $5 entry fee per team applies and this is paid by VMA.

The results shall be posted to the Director of Competition to arrive by no later than the 18th March 2011. The winners will be announced and presented with a certificate at the AMA National T & Field Titles to be held at Brisbane, Qld from April 21 – 24 in 2011.

Results will be published on the AMA web-site where the best performances so far in the different age categories can be found. Challenge your relay teams to beat the best.

The AMA Board is looking forward to a record of 200+ entries in 2011 following the record number of 187 in 2010.
