1997 Australian Relay Championships
Timber Tops, 5 October
This relay was both a state and club relay. Club teams are,
by default, also state teams. State placings are given, with club
placings in brackets where applicable.
Unofficial teams are those which contain competitors from
different states (except for the Outer States O-League teams), or
in one or two cases, teams containing competitors ineligible for
that age group.
