Congratulations and Good Luck to all the athletes who will represent Cranbourne at this weekend’s State Championships. This year we have a massive team who have progressed through to state – with a total of 99 athletes over 230 events.
Many brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends among this group, but whilst we are at Knox this weekend, wearing the White, Blue and Gold, We Are One Centre, We Are One Family – let’s all support one another this week and keep that Cranbourne Spirit High!!
Yes, it is going to be hot! There may be changes throughout the day! Please note that this is a FULL LAVic Event, we find out things the same time that you find out.
LAVic do have plenty of Marquees up at field event sites, as well as the finish line with misting fans to assist cooling down the athletes.
Where is it?
This year’s State Championships will take place at Knox Athletics Track Bunjil Way, Knoxfield VIC 3180
Please note that parking may be a little chaotic, please try and arrive early!
Where to Check In?
Once you arrive at the Knox Track, we have our marquees set up at the 200m start – please look around for the Cranbourne Marquees!
Cranbourne is known for making lots of noise and cheering on each athlete, so let’s keep that going!
Please make sure you bring a deck chair, blanket etc to sit on.
Families will be required to check in with Lisa at least one hour before your first event, the call rooms close 20 minutes before event time. If you do not check in with Lisa at the Cranbourne team area we will presume your athlete is not competing and will be scratched from their events.
Duty Roster
When registering, it is a requirement to agree to fulfill Parent Duty. With numerous athletes participating, the allocation of duties is extensive, and all families must fulfill their assigned responsibilities. We have made efforts to distribute duties evenly. Please ensure that you do not let down the center and, more importantly, our athletes.
Failure to attend to your duty will result in your child being scratched for all subsequent events on the weekend. Moreover, you risk jeopardizing your standing for future Region/State events, upcoming Cranbourne functions, and Cranbourne season awards.
Parents on duty are obligated to wear closed-toe footwear for safety purposes. It is important to note that while on duty inside the track, the use of mobile phones, taking photos, or cheering for athletes is strictly prohibited, as this may jeopardize the athletes and result in disqualification from the event.
All duties must be carried out by individuals who are 18 years or older.

Qualifying for the 2023/24 State Championships
The 2023/24 State Track and Field Championships will be held at none other than Casey Fields, on Saturday 9th, and Sunday 10th March 2024.
The first-placed athlete per Region per event will automatically qualify for the State Track & Field Championships. The rest of the field will be made up of the next best performances from across all Regions to complete the field of 24 athletes (16 athletes only in 800m events).
There are eligibility standards for High Jump and Walk events, that must be achieved to qualify, regardless of placing first at Region.
Athletes must have competed in and finished in the overall top 10 placing in the relevant event at the Region Track and Field Carnival, except for High Jump and Race Walks.
Walks and High Jump Progression Rules
Multi-class athletes will be progressed based on their converted performance at the Region Track & Field Carnival, up to the maximum field size for each event. If there are insufficient entries, or if places and performances are equal, only clear progressions will be advanced, i.e., a field may be less than the allowed maximum field size
For example
All events other than 800m, Walk and High Jump.
24 Athletes will go through to state
7 of these will be the automatic qualifier, the winner from each region
The remaining 17 athletes will be the next best times from all the region carnivals
800m
16 Athletes will go through to state
7 of these will be the automatic qualifier, the winner from each region
The remaining 9 athletes will be the next best times from all the region carnivals
Medal Presentations
Medals will be awarded to athletes who secure a position in the TOP 3 overall. Regional carnivals do not distribute place ribbons. In track events featuring more than one timed final, the medals will be given to the three athletes with the fastest overall times, rather than the winners of each timed final.
Event Clashes
Referees and our center team manager will manage conflicts arising between track and field events, and there is no requirement for parental intervention in these matters. Track events will be prioritized over field events, and we won’t delay events for athletes at the Presentation area. Medals will remain available, ensuring athletes can collect them after their respective events.
Scratchings
If you need to scratch your athlete for any reason, please call our team manager Lisa to let her know – 0412 977 939
Additional Information
Lane Draws/Meet Program *subject to change*
(Please Note: Timed Finals are not seeded for Region – they are a random draw. State Timed Finals will be seeded on athlete’s region times)
Program by Athlete *subject to change*
If anyone needs any additional information please contact the centre via FB messenger or give Lisa a call 0412 977 939.
Please Note: As this event is run by the Gippsland Country Region – personal bests will not count. Parent points will also not be included for appointed parent duties, this is an entry requirement.

Thank you all for registering your child for this weekend’s State Combined Event Championships. This event is a great way to meet lifelong friends from other centers, as well as make friends with some other Cranbourne athletes from other age groups.
Duty Roster
When signing up, one of the conditions is that you agree to perform Parent Duty. Every athlete will be required to perform a parent duty.
All duties MUST be conducted by someone who is 21 years or older. Please check the roster below
CLICK HERE TO VIEW STATE COMBINED PARENT DUTY ROSTER
We have tried to make the duties as fair as possible. This year, once again, we have the BIGGEST team competing at the State Combined Events, by over 20 athletes, which means we have the most duties. Duties are done by athlete and day, unfortunately with the amount of duties we have, some athletes competing on both days will have double duty.
Failure to attend to your duty will result in your child being scratched for all subsequent events on that day. Moreover, you risk jeopardizing your standing for future Region/State events, upcoming Cranbourne functions, and Cranbourne season awards.
Uniform
All athletes must be wearing the complete Cranbourne uniform. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in your child being ineligible to participate—this adheres to both LAVIC rules and the conditions of entry.
Our Uniform Consists of:
- Royal Blue Shorts with NO Pockets, Patterns, or Non-approved logos (e.g., Nike, Adidas, etc…)
- Cranbourne Competition Top
- Coles patch SEWN on, above the LAVic logo on the athlete’s shirt.
- 2023/24 Commonwealth Bank name patch.
Please see the file below on all uniform regulations including the wearing of undergarments (shirts and shorts under your uniform)
What to do once you arrive at Lakeside?
Parking
For the most convenient parking, we recommend Albert Road or Albert Road Drive. Ample parking is available in the vicinity, with early arrival ensuring better parking options. Please allow for additional time for parking.

Where to go?
Upon reaching Lakeside Stadium, locate us in our usual spot on the back straight near the 1500m start. Access through gate 1 is recommended for ease of entry. Cranbourne is renowned for its spirited support, so let’s maintain the tradition of making noise and cheering for each athlete.
CLICK HERE FOR MAP OF WHERE WE SIT
Athlete Check In
Every athlete is required to sign in with our Team Managers upon arrival and sign out before leaving, even during breaks between events. This adherence to a new child-safe guideline not only ensures safety but also aids our team managers in tracking athlete presence. Athletes who haven’t checked in at the designated Cranbourne area before their first event the athlete will be scratched.
Food Options
We strongly advise families to bring their lunch, beverages, and snacks, as the food choices at Lakeside Stadium are quite limited.

Warming Up
For the State Combined event, athletes will need to warm themselves up for each event. If any athlete would like advice on how to warm up properly, please see one of the coaches on Wednesday at Training.
Going to the call room
A Track call room, located near the 100m start line, will be used for all Track events. When called to marshal for any track event, all athletes are to report to the Track call room, and they will be escorted from there to the start of their race.
Field events will not use a call room but will marshal at one of three Field Marshalling points:
- All Long Jump events will marshal on the outside of the track along the back straight.
- Shot Put and Javelin events will marshal just inside Gate 1 near the Canteen.
- Discus and High Jump events will marshal outside the track near the 1500m start
point.
All athletes must be at their relevant call room/marshaling point 30 minutes before their first
event of each day. For subsequent events throughout the day, an announcement will be
made when each Age Group and Group is to report to the call room/marshaling points.
The timetable is only an indication of the times for each event. It is essential that athletes
and parents are listening for all announcements relating to their events.
Athletes are not to run across the track or jump the fence. Located around the track are
gates, and officials at each Gate will manage the athletes entering the track area.
In between events
During breaks, we suggest that you hang around the Cranbourne area or support other Cranbourne Athletes. Please note: if you miss an event from not sitting in the Cranbourne area – that is on you!
Live Stream
Like all LAVic State Events, this event will have a limited free stream available. All track events and limited field events will be live-streamed.

Progression to Commonwealth Bank State Relays Championships
The Commonwealth Bank Region Relays Carnivals are the sole qualification method for teams wishing to compete at the Commonwealth Bank State Relays Championships. No direct entries are accepted for the State Relays Championships.
For all events in each of the U9 to U17 age groups, the winning team at each Regional Carnival will qualify for the State Championships with the remaining available places allocated to the next fastest teams regardless of Region.
The number of teams qualifying for each event will be as follows
• 4 x 100m (U9-U15) – 7 Region Winners + next 17 fastest teams (24 in total)
• 4 x 100m (U16-U17) – 7 Region Winners + next 9 fastest teams (16 in total)

All events at both the Region and State Relays are Timed Finals/finals only and seeding at State Championships is based on performance at Region Relays Carnivals.
Please note: there will be no costs to progress through to state relays – there will be a LAVIC state relay shirt you are able to purchase before the event.

We will have our Marquee’s set up for everyone to use. You will need to bring your own seating – Deck Chairs, Rugs etc…

Parent Duty
When signing up all entrants ticked that they agree to participate in Parent Duty.
The parent duty we have been given is TIMEKEEPER RECORDER.
Parents on duty are required to write down the times yelled out by the official timekeeper for ONE team in a race. The on-duty parent must report for duty at the timekeeper’s tent 5 minutes before their race. To make it fair a parent from each team has been allocated a duty and they will time their own child’s team – we did this using a random number generator for each team.

Failure to perform your allocated duty may results in punishment for your child come the end of the season – we are all here to help the athletes!
