Top Ten - 6th Feb 2010
The 2010 Top Ten saw Eastern 10th place - following the sequence of several years now where we have hovered around 9th and 10th but staying within the all important
Top Ten (of the 18-20 Auckland region clubs).
This was especially notable as we competed without teams in the 7 and 9 Boys or 13 Girls and one 12 Boy competed alone. With teams competing in these age groups, we might have finished as high as 6th
Three of our teams medalled in their individual age groups. Jordan Vetter & Mikyle Frank won the 14 Boys, while Charlie Staite & Harry Marks and Yasmin Shakes & Isabel McGillivray were second in the 13 Boys and 9 Girls respectively.

13 new records from Colgate Games
With the Colgate Games being help in Auckland over a beautiful weekend this year, Eastern athletes had every opportunity to capture medals and records and they didn't disappoint.
53 Athletes took part in the games (with 3 also travelling to the South Island Colgate Games held in Timura the follwing week), for a total of 8 medals and 13 new club records.
Especially notable were Fraser McKinley who (winning the Gold) took another 3 seconds off his 10 Boys 1500m record set just before Christmas, Nicole Fairbrother who broke the club
14 Girls Long Jump record at the North Island Colgates and broke it again the following weekend at the South Island Games and Harry Marks who took an enormous 0.91s (and Bronze medal) off the 13 Boys 200m
record set by Nick Thomas a couple of years ago and then followed that up by adding 23cm to the previous Long Jump record on his was to winning the Gold medal in that event.

As is always the case, the club also had significant representation in the organisation and administration of the Trans-Tasman event.
Rodger and Denise were both members of the executive committee, Rodger and Kim Anderson were both selectors and Denise was also an administrator.
Fraser McKinley and Sam Heslin continued their strong seasons with Silver medals in the 10 and 11 Boys 1500m respectively. The standard in Trans-Tasman
competition is always extremely high, especially on the track, and this is a very good effort from Fraser and SAM.

First records of the season
Club records for both the 10 and 11 year old boys were broken at the Auckland Junior 1500m Championship run in conjunction with the John Walker Night of Miles on December 19th.
With an outstanding time for 10 year olds, both Fraser McKinlay and James Uhlenberg took several seconds off Brandon James' 2005 Auckland Champs run, which was an impressive effort itself for those who
remember it.
Fraser ran 5.08.05 and James 5.10.08 for an Eastern gold/silver double.
Sam Heslin then ran 4.48.75 to smash the 11 year old 1500m record set by Thomas Hood in 2001 by almost 13 seconds.
Clearly the future of boys middle distance running at Eastern is looking especially bright with these boys running 5 minutes and under at this stage of the season.
