Very few clubs have swept a field event until this year when Kajaks women's hammer throwers set the bar so high it will
not be matched for years to come.
The Kajaks hammer throws took 1st, 2nd and 3rd with Joanna Franke Kuhn taking the gold medal,
Samantha Kennedy taking the silver and young Asianna Covington taking the bronze.
Another outstanding Kajaks this year was Katie Reid taking the gold medal in the 400m and a bronze in the 200m.
Asianna Covington missed the bronze medal in the women's discus by only 20cm.
Shai-Ann Davis finished 4th in the 200m and 6th in the 100m.
Hayley Stewart qualified for the finals in the long jump but finished in 9th place in the finals.
