Doncaster Athletes Win State Titles at Tom Kelly Track
Runners and field competitors from the club at Tom Kelly Athletics Track continue to deliver results in Athletics Victoria and School Sport Victoria events.
How we reported this

Doncaster Athletic Club members have recorded state titles and Victorian Schools Sports Awards Sporting Blue honors through their work with East Doncaster Secondary College athletes.
The results stand out because the club operates from Tom Kelly Athletics Track, the same venue used by Doncaster Secondary College and other schools for regular training and carnivals. Athletes there compete in the Eastern Zone under School Sport Victoria rules, covering track events alongside basketball, soccer and netball fixtures.
Track Access and Daily Use
Doncaster Athletic Club supplies coaching at Tom Kelly Athletics Track while schools book weekday sessions from 8:00am to 3:30pm. Eltham High School and additional local programs stage their house athletics carnivals at the venue, running hurdles, javelin, high jump and long jump on the same surface.
These shared arrangements allow club athletes and school teams to prepare for cross-country, swimming and athletics carnivals without leaving Doncaster East. The setup keeps training consistent for both senior students chasing further state medals and younger competitors entering Eastern Zone meets.
Next Steps for Participants
