Please note that there were a number of dates/times incorrectly listed on the online entry system for a few events.U10 and U11 boys 60m is incorrectly listed for the 5th of February. These events take place on the 12th.

The U14 girls and boys 800m event is wrongly listed as 600m. However, athletes should still be entered on the system and the event distance will be 800m on the day.
