Week Twelve – 9th December

Due to a number of families involved in various Christmas gatherings and celebrations, plus the very warm weather, Week 12 activities only had four contestants !
However, this didn’t deter the enthusiasm of Crissy, Eric, & Eva who scored good points for the 3k, covering 2 laps of the 1500mts in good time.
It was also great to have Leonie back with us again after a long break.
Leonie is an amazing example of determination to stay positive as she copes with Parkinsons.
Through medical advice she is keen to get back into a steady walking regime again, which she achieved during the winter months.
Victory Runnere are very proud of two associate members who competed at the All Schools Australian Track & Field Championships held in Cairns last weekend.
We wish to congratulate Jaylah Hancock – Cameron and Karlee Symonds, both girls achieved the honour of being crowned National Champions. Jaylah convincingly won the U18 1500m and Karlee won the U18 Para 100m & 200m achieving a PB in both events, despite pouring rain during the 200m!
Sunday morning 16th December will be our final activity for 2018. We have planned to start at 9.am instead of 10.am to avoid the heat. Some fun events will follow the 1 & 2k. To conclude and celebrate
the end of the year we plan to enjoy a Happy Christmas morning tea together. All welcome.
