WINTER SEASON 2025

The Girraween Athletics Winter Season commenced on March 29th, 2025, at the first West Met Cross

Country event at Ermington.

Congratulations to Greg Sargeant who completed all 18 West Met Cross Country events, he has completed

this in back-to-back seasons 2024 and 2025, well done.

The winter season awards are divided into two categories, the Club Awards and the Representative Awards.

Here is an explanation of how they work.

Explanation of the Girraween Athletics Club Winter Competition Point Score

The point score is based on participation in the West Metropolitan Cross Country (West Met XC) Events.

Athletes must have finished an event to score points in that event. To be eligible for a Club award, athletes

must have completed at least 50% of the West Met XC events on offer.

In West Met XC there are three races, short, medium and long distances races open to all age groups. At the

beginning of the season athletes must nominate an event.

Point scoring is determined as follows:

We divide the races into six categories.

Short Distance - FemaleMiddle Distance – FemaleLong Distance - Female

Short Distance - MaleMiddle Distance – MaleLong Distance - Male

Points are awarded from the fastest Girraween finisher in each category to the slowest i.e. first finisher is

allocated the maximum 30 points, second gets 29 points, third gets 28 points etc.

Calculating Total Points

To allow those who miss the occasional run to still be competitive in the point score, the final score will be

made of the competitor’s best 9 events of the season, meaning that if an athlete runs in all West Met XC

races, their lowest scoring races will be omitted from the final total.

The total points are then allocated into our Age Groups:
