Quote for the Month of May:
Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.
John W. Gardner ~~ American Educator 1912 ~ 2002
It was great to welcome back two of our families who took the opportunity to travel away for the recent Easter break and school holidays.
Aidan Dziubinski along with partner Jeanie and their children Annie & Thomas thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful sightseeing trip to South Africa. Irwin and Laura Burbage with children, Layla, Cailin and Jai chose the Gold Coast for a fun filled holiday. Congratulations are in order to Irwin who called into Port Macquarie on their way home to complete their well earned holiday by competing in the extremely tough Ironman competition which he finished in just over 12 hours. Well Done Irwin!
Erich & Eva Moeller-Duhme have also been enjoying touring Queensland and visiting family. On their way north went via the Canberra Running Festival and both placed 5th in their age category of the 10k. distance. Well Done E & E !
Our Top Masters athlete (50 – 54yrs category) Cristine Suffolk has certainly earned our 3rd Well Done for her competition achievement. While we have all been battling the extremely wet conditions at Willandra, Cristine has been to Brisbane in early April and Perth, late April to compete in Australian Masters competitions. Brisbane she was awarded Gold medal in 8k XC event and Bronze in 2k Steeplechase. However making up for the events in Perth not being held due to the Pandemic in 2021, Crissy entered 7 events and won 7 Medals over the four days competition from 23rd to 26th April. 4 Gold, 2 Silver and 1 Bronze. The events included on the track, 10,000m, 5,000m, 2km Steeplechase, 1500m, 800m while out of stadium events were 8km XC and 1 Mile Road Race.
A great accomplishment for a very dedicated athlete.
A number of our school students have achieved good results at their school XC carnivals and will move to the next level. Unfortunately the excessive wet weather has affected a lot of schools being able to conduct their events. We are trusting the dreaded westerly wind will start heading our way very soon to dry out the extremely saturated ground
