This report should have been covering Victory’s end of winter celebration and ‘fun day’. Unfortunately due to gale force winds and extremely icy cold temperatures the afternoon was postponed to Saturday 3rd. October.
We apologise to members who may now not be able to attend on the 3rd. However, weather is something that is completely out of our control. Sometimes it is in our favour and occasionally, as on Saturday it was against us.
We wish to acknowledge three of our top runners who accepted the invitation of Kembla Joggers to compete in their Open Night on Thursday evening 24th. September at Beaton Park athletics track.
Young Joel Harlor ran his inaugural 1 mile event finishing in an excellent time of 5:05.4 and placed third overall. Hailey D’Ombrain ran the 3k distance and improved her PB track time by a massive 27 seconds. Stopping the clock at 10:50.4. Cristine Suffolk chose the 5k event and to complete another outstanding effort achieved a great time of 21:21.5.
We are proud of these members and extend appreciation to them, and family members for attending, and to KJ’s for the invitation.
These three Victory Runners will be joined by a number of other keen members who will compete in the postponed State XC Championships at Dapto on 10th & 11th. October. We know they will all give 100% effort and do their best.
After Saturday 3rd. Victory Runners will have a few weeks break.
During this break a summer program will be compiled, and a date selected for AGM.
This will be published on our website in ‘Info to Know’ section. Website changes and information will be updated and a new Membership Form with current fees for the new 2020/21 year.
Looking forward to seeing those who can make it on Saturday for our postponed fun event and celebration.
Would appreciate if you plan to come and suddenly have to change your plan, please let me know via ph: 444 60 226.
Reason being the fun event involves teams, some last minute changes may be necessary!
Last chance to absorb the wise quote for September:
“Running is about finding your inner peace, and so is a life well lived.”
