The Junior/Master Track Championships were held over 2 days with some of the juniors looking forward to cement their selection for the National Track Championships to be held in Sydney at the end of March.

Friday night session, all Time Trials and Pursuits being held and Saturday afternoon and evening sessions taking care of the Sprint and Scratch events, , in the U/15 Boys three riders occupied the same three positions for all their events, in the U/15 Girls Jessica Baldey figured in a top three position in all of her events, U/17 Girls Michaela Anderson just missed a clean sweep winning 3 of her events and a second in the 4th, Mitch Benson continued on his winning way with a clean sweep in his 4 events.

But overall there was some very good racing from all age groups, with the small crowd of spectators, mainly parents, getting very excited with some of the racing.

Lastly but not forgotten are the Masters, a small but select field added their excitement for all sessions.

These two days were long and very tiring for all, thanks must go to all the officials and volunteers for all their time in making these titles a success.

As a result of these titles a list of the selected riders appears below. 

Thanks to Tony Harman and Murray Hall for the Results
