Enjoyable weather conditions plus very keen competitors produced very good results for Week 11 with some great improvements noted in all activities.
Improver of the Week for 1k Distance is young Jai Burbage who simply flew home to set a new record for the 6yrs 1k distance crossing the finish line closely followed by another improver Henry Tait who was also under 5 minutes.
2k Distance Improver of the Week was won by 10yr old Annie Dziubinski who managed to reduce her best time by 26 seconds and equal the 10yrs best time on record 8.26 set in 2021. Congratulations Annie.
An apology to young Thomas Dziubinski who turns 8 years in December for setting a new Best on Record for his age at Week 9 for the 2k, at the Open Day, possibly due to the 190 competitors his great time of 9.49 was overlooked. Congratulations Thomas for this ‘Top’ achievement.
Our regular walking couple Heidi & James Murray have achieved the Improvers of the week for their event by reducing their time by almost 2 minutes.
3k Distance was won by a Randwick Botany visitor in a very impressive time. Well done to Lorenzo Paonessa . 11yr old Jayden Clark ran a PB time and improved by 30 seconds and achieve the 3k distance Improver of the Week along with not so young Paul Jennings who is steadily improving over this distance.
4k distance was reduced to only four competitors and won in style, also by a visitor Robert Shannon. Possibly with a speedy runner up front, this helped Andrew Lawrence to achieve the Improver of the week award. Well done Andrew for reducing your time to under 20 minutes! Andrew’s wife Kayleen also improved her 4k walk time. Well done to all 42 participants who attended and our volunteers for assisting.
Week 12 on Saturday 10th will be a chance for members to have a cuppa and some afternoon tea and a chat, for those who can stay after their activity. Also an opportunity to discuss and finalise information and our responsibilities as hosts for Athletics NSW State XC at Willandra on Saturday 17th. June.

Winners are not people who never fail. ……….. They are people who never give up, when the going gets tough.
