Established in 1982, the Western Suburbs Combine Club for Track and Field Competition brought together officials from renowned athletics clubs like Altona, Sunshine, and Werribee. Their remarkable victory in the 'B' grade at Aberfeldie gave them the opportunity to compete in the prestigious 'A' Reserve competition.

Recognising the need for inclusivity and exceptional performance, a women's team was formed in 1993/94, earning themselves a well-deserved entry into 'A' grade. Realising the potential and the challenges faced by athletics in the Western Suburbs, the Footscray, Sunshine, and Werribee Clubs joined forces in 1995, laying the foundation for Western Athletics Incorporated.

Since then, Western Athletics has been a force to be reckoned with in the world of track and field. Their exceptional achievements in both team and individual events have been nothing short of awe-inspiring. From triumphing at the Zone & State Shield Finals to dominating the State Relay Championships, this club consistently displays remarkable prowess and determination.

But Western Athletics is not just about competitions and victories. They are committed to nurturing young talent and supporting junior athletes through school sports programs. It is their belief that by investing in the future generation, they can contribute to the growth and success of athletics in the long run.

Moreover, Western Athletics understands the value of camaraderie and social bonding. The club organises exciting events such as Club Trips, Christmas BBQ's, and the much-anticipated Annual Gift. These gatherings offer a fantastic opportunity for athletes to come together, share experiences, and forge lasting friendships.
