A cool fine Winter afternoon greeted keen runners and walkers to Willandra for Week 16 activity
A very BIG thanks was offered to seven of our young members who had already competed earlier at Dapto in the ANSW & LA’s Short Course Cross Country Championships.
All seven once again enjoyed the experience of competing and clocked up some very good times over the shorter distance . Once again our three 10yr old girls Cleo Mcarthur, Caitlin Burbage and Ashleigh Astin-Briggs performed very well and won a Gold Medal each for 1st in the U11 1.5k Team event . Well done girls, another great effort just 3 weeks after winning Silver.
7yr old Jai Burbage completed the 800m in 3:25, 9yr old Thomas Dziubinski completed his 1k in 3:56. 11yr old Sister Annie flew around the 1.5k in 5.26m. 12yr old Joshua Astin-Briggs completed his 2k event in ran his 2k 9.57.
Though not present at Willandra, two other members who attended the Championships were Cristine Suffolk and 10yr old Owen Harlor. Owen ran well in a very large field completing his 1.5k in 5:38m
Last, but definitely not least. All Victory Members were very excited for Cristine Suffolk when she won the Bronze Medal in her age category 4k event at these Championships. As we all were aware, this medal was her 500th Medal presented to her since her very first one when she was 17ys old. Crissy was in a Nowra Club Relay Team and won Gold with Glenda Abbot , Lisa Whitby and Pat Maher.
It is often said, a change is as good as a holiday. Just before starting our activity, Paul Jennings surprised all by announcing the activity for week 16, all distances from 1k to 4k had to be run or walked in reverse. Considering the cheers, it sounded like most enjoyed the challenge.
Looking forward to Week 17, Saturday July 20th. same time, same place, maybe something different. You will have to come and see!! All welcome.
Quote for the Month of July (Also a little different):
My Doctor told me that jogging could add years to my life.
I think he was right, I feel 10 years older already.
