August Quote for the Month. To be yourself, in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else, is the greatest accomplishment. Ralph Waldo Emerson
A touch of Spring weather greeted participants at Willandra for week 15. Due to various reasons a number of regular members were absent, however we were pleased to welcome first timers Chris Page and daughters Hannah and Rosie.
Visiting from the Wollongong area it was lovely to see Kaja Wolter and her family. 13 year old Kaja has been named in the ANSW U14 team for the Australian XC Championships on 27th August in Adelaide and keen to train over a 3k course.
Young Henry Tait, turning 8 in December set himself another PB in only his 3rd run over the 1k and actually set a Best time on Record for boys 8yrs 1k. Well Done.
Three other members have also achieved PB’s in the 4k distance for this season. In Week 14 Razz Wilkins improved by 14 seconds . Week 15, two more managed to chalk up a PB.
Consistent Jon Schol improved by 10 seconds and Cristine Suffolk was thrilled to take off 13 seconds after her very good category win a week ago when three Victory Members competed at the ANSW Short Course XC Championships at Bathurst. We extend Congratulations to Crissy for achieving the Gold medal, Bridget Fairs the Silver, 16yrs and Joel Harlor, Bronze in 14yrs.
A great result from our state standard members. Our XC season concludes at the end of September, however new families & individuals are very welcome to join us at Willandra any Saturday afternoon for a walk or run over the distance of your choice. 2.20pm for a 3pm start.
