BRIEF HISTORY OF WERRIBEE LITTLE ATHLETICS
Werribee Little Athletics started in 1970. Originally there were six participating clubs: Glen Devon, Hoppers Crossing, Little River, St Andrews, Werribee Primary and Werribee South.
The Werribee South club ceased to operate in 1973, and Little River withdrew from competition in 1974. The Windermere club began in 1976, but changed its name to Wyndhamvale in 1979. In 1990, Werribee Primary changed its name to Werribee Central.
The Werribee Little Athletics Centre moved to the new synthetic track for the commencement of the 2003 season. That same year Lara joined us whilst upgrades took place to their track in Corio. Lara will be continuing with us this season.
Today, Werribee Little Athletics consists of five clubs: Cougars, Dragons, Lynx, Scorpions and Wildcats.
