VIAA Weight Pentathlon Meet

Details and Schedule

What is a Pentathlon?

Sunday, May 25, 2008, 10:00 am

Peninsula Track feels that athletes on Vancouver Island have little opportunity to participate in a Weight Pentathlon competition. A weight Pentathlon consists of shotput, discus, hammer, javelin and weight throw. Therefore,  we are hosting a weight pentathlon  meet  at Sidney to give them a chance to experience such an event.  Since we have limited facilities, it has been decided to limit the event to athletes 14 years and older (born in 1994 or earlier). Results in individual events from this meet will count towards the Vancouver Island Series awards and the meet  also counts as one the four necessary to be eligible for Island Series awards as long as one of the other meets is the Nanaimo, Courtenay or Alberni Meet.

Peninsula Track feels that athletes on Vancouver Island have little opportunity to participate in a Pentathlon competition. Therefore, we are hosting a pentathlon meet at Sidney to give them a chance to experience a pentathlon before the championships. This meet is for athletes 9 to 15 years in age (born in 1993 to 1999). 15 year olds are invited to participate as this is the multi-event done at the BC Summer Games in 2008. Results from this meet will count towards the Vancouver Island Series awards and the meet can be counted as one of the four as long as one of the other meets is the Courtenay, Nanaimo or Alberni meet.
