Week sixteen for Victory competitors presented quite a challenge with typical July winter weather, very cold and windy conditions were experienced by all present.
Possibly for this reason quite a few younger members chose to ‘walk & talk’ and enjoy the first Sunday of school holidays.
After nearly two weeks since the State Cross County Championships at Willandra, Athletics NSW have finally published the official Team results.
It was very exciting to see Victory Runners in second place in the Under 12 Girls event. Considering this was the first time all four girls have competed for ANSW, and being such a new club we are proud of their involvement in creating history for Victory Runners by achieving this award.
The four girls, Amelia & Alyssa Sim, Mia Jobson & Ruby French can now look forward to receiving their silver medals.
While on the subject of medals, Crissy Suffolk won a Gold medal in her age category at the ANSW Short Course XC held at Dapto on Sunday 8th. July. Well done Crissy.
Congratulations also to Victory member Hailey D’Ombrain who competed at the Short Course in the Under 13 girls 3k. Championship event. Hailey placed 10th in a field of 26 girls, clocking an excellent time of 10:56 in cold windy conditions. Great work Hailey and thank you for flying the flag for Victory Runners. Fourteen year old sister Maddison braved the weather also and ran in the 4k Fun Run.
Lucky place card draws this week went to Hati Onsel, Elaine Davis & young James Wilson.
Secret Time Award was one by sisters Darcie & Gabi Johnson. Coincidently both the girls times included the number 16 (Representing Week 16 activity)
Erich & Eva Moeller Duhme send greetings from Germany. Weather is perfect , sunny 28 – 30 degrees . They enjoyed their first 8k training run through the lush green forest in their attractive Victory running singlets !
Look forward to Week 17 next Sunday at Willandra from 10:am. Visitors always welcome.
