The Gilden sisters maintained their outstanding form in the Williamstown women’s division 2 team in the Athletics Victoria Shield at the Wyndham Sporting Complex on Saturday.
They packed a one-two punch in the 400 metres, with Eleni finishing first ahead of sister Rosamond, with teammate Karoline Curtis rounding out an all-Williamstown podium.
Delores Quinn had a strong run in the 5000 metres for second place. Bridgette Mercaldi ran third in the 1500 metres.
The star performer in the under-18s was the ever-consistent Celeste Mucci. She was first in the 100 metres and 100 metres hurdles, javelin and long jump.
The men’s division 2 team was led by multi-event athlete Jarrod Adams, who competed in six events.
Daniel Barlow had the top results with strong wins in the 1500 metres and 5000 metres. Adam Dykes made an encouraging return from his stint overseas, winning in the 400 metres.
Cosi Mucci stayed true to form in the men’s under-18 section with victory in the 100 metres, finishing just ahead of teammate Brad Ticehurst.
