      See that they are redeveloping this facility including the athletics track. Hope they keep it the Peter Hannan Athletics Track and maybe even include his wife Sharon (Shaz). They are two of the greatest coaches Australia has ever produced and I think it would be a wonderful recognition of their effort over 40 years.
