PVAC IS OFF TO STATE RELAYS!

This Sunday, 8th November, our amazing PVAC athletes will be heading to Sydney Olympic Park to compete at the VALOUR NSW Relay Championships! 🏆

We are so excited to have 6 teams representing Penrith Valley Athletics across track and field events!

For some of our athletes, this will be their very first State Relay Championships, and what an exciting experience it will be! 🙌🏼

Relays are all about teamwork, encouragement and giving it your best alongside your teammates. 💪🏼

To all our athletes competing, we are already so proud of you! Run fast, throw far, cheer loudly and most importantly, HAVE FUN! 🥰

A huge thank you to our wonderful parents, coach and committee for supporting our athletes and making these opportunities possible.

GOOD LUCK, TEAM PVAC!

Six years ago, PVAC faced one of the most uncertain chapters in its 50-year history.

In 2020, when the call went out for committee members, just TWO people put their hands up

Trish Bunting and Caroline Dwyer 🫶🏼

They had every reason to step away. Their children had finished competing, they had already given years of their time, countless Friday nights and so much of themselves to the club.

But walking away was never an option they were willing to accept.

They believed PVAC was worth fighting for, and that's exactly what they did.

And thankfully, others believed it too.

Answering the urgent calls for help, four former PVAC athletes — Danielle, Daniel, Liam and Sarah Bradshaw — stepped up to give back to the club they had grown up loving. They were joined by Susan, Sarahh and Sheree, who also remain on our committee today.

Some took on executive roles straight away, some were new athletics, and many had children in the 6s and younger. But they all shared one thing — a determination to see PVAC not just survive, but thrive!

Fast forward six years… PVAC now has an incredible 25 committee members! 🥹👏

And through it all, Trish and Caroline remain part of the backbone of our club, still volunteering, sharing their knowledge and helping make Friday night competitions happen.

As we celebrate 50 years of PVAC, it's worth remembering that this milestone wasn't always guaranteed.

Next time you see Trish or Caroline at the track, say hello, and more importantly, say THANK YOU.

Because sometimes the people who make the biggest difference are the ones who simply keep showing up.
