The September 2025 issue of The Magpie is packed with highlights from the World Championships, where Mia Gross delivered standout performances in the 200m and 4x400m relays alongside coach John Nicolosi.
The wrap-up of the winter XCR season includes strong results at Burnley, the return of the 5-Mile Championships at Fairfield, and the final Tan Relays, with notable runs from Abdi Rhoble, Zoe Delany, Luke Shaw and many others.
Looking ahead, the focus shifts to Collingwood’s centenary summer season, beginning with the Magpie Multies on October 4–5 and the AVSL launch on October 11, complete with rule updates. The issue also covers results from Collingwood Little Athletics at the Australian All Schools XC, Masters Athletics achievements at the Winter Challenge, upcoming competition calendars, and new club merchandise.
This edition also remembers Life Member Claude Martin, celebrates the Parade of Champions at the 5-Mile, and invites members to help shape the club’s revised Code of Conduct.
