With school holidays and some of our families at the Athletics NSW & Little A’s State Short Course Cross Country Championships at Dapto, as expected our numbers were also lower than normal.
Club president had organized a slightly different start just to be different. Competitors were given the opportunity of running a timed one mile distance (1.6k)
Any who wished to run further dropped their place ticket in and kept going.
However the 21 competitors all enjoyed the lovely winter afternoon, with 17 running the XC mile event and six opting to continue running another distance to add to their mile sprint time.
We were also pleased to have a visiting competitor who ran the 10k distance. Well done Michelle and thank you for coming.
Congratulations are in order to Cristine Suffolk who won the Gold Medal in her age category (55 – 59 4k event) at the Short Course XC Championships at Dapto. Thank you Crissy, another great effort.
Many thanks to the families of Ashleigh and Joshua Astin-Briggs, Annie and Tommy Dziubinski, Owen Harlor and Cleo McAarthur who travelled to Dapto with the six keen young athletes to compete in the Short Course also. No medals , but the opportunity of running with others in their age group on a different course is all great experience. Well done everyone !
Hoping the cool winter weather continues without the wind. We look forward to Week 18 on Saturday 19th. July at 3.00pm. Visitors always welcome.
