SELAC Club Captains for 2023/24

Jaide and Donny (Captains)

Mia and Henry (Vice Captains)

Jaide Almeida - Club Captain

I’ve been an athlete for 12 years specialising in the hurdles, and throughout this time what I most admire about athletics is how discipline and determination will ultimately result in improvement - a life lesson we can all identify with. As SELAC Captain my best leadership quality is my embodiment of a supportive figure on and outside of the track, being able to empathise and relate to younger athletes as they traverse through their sporting careers.

Donny Wain- Club Captain

I have been doing athletics for 14 years. My favourite event is the 100 m. What I love about athletics where you can hang out with your friends and do activities that you’re interested and passionate about. I want to be at events that I’m showing my gratitude and appreciation to looking forward at this club and cheering everyone on.

Henry Cleaver- Vice Captain

I have been doing athletics at SELAC for 10 years, since the U6’s, and I have adored Javelin ever since we were allowed to use the turbo-javelins, back in U10’s. I have always loved the sportsmanship athletics brings, and especially the kindness and even advice your competitors give in field events. My best quality as a leader is to encourage and cheer on fellow competitors to do and try their best in every event.

Mia Sparks- Vice Captain

I have been doing athletics for seven years now and my favourite event is easily the 100m. What I love about athletics is the sense of community and training with my friends. I would say my best leadership quality is my ability to encourage and support others!
