Fortunately for us, the rain that was falling on coastal towns did not come our way at Willandra. Despite the damp course many runners and walkers managed some very good times.
Young 8yr old Eden Economos took line honors finishing the 1k in a very good time of 4:56 It was a good day for the Economos family with sister 3rd in 1k, Mother Rachel 2nd in the 2k, and 11yr old brother Hudson 3rd in the 3k and also achieving a PB.
However it was great to witness four well deserving members of varying ages also achieve a PB. Well done Joshua Astin-Briggs & Frank Stevens 3k and Annalies Corse 4k. while Di Court managed a PB in the 3k Walk.
Another interesting happening regarding times when looking for improvements was the fact that brother and sister Jackson and Zara Golding both ran the exact time for their 4k and 1k distance as they had previously. (Week 18 4k and Week 15 1k).
Some very exciting news involving the Athletics Australia Cross Country Championship to be held in Ballarat on Saturday 23rd August. 3 of our members, namely Annie Dziubinski, Owen Harlor and Cristine Suffolk are NSW Team members and Cleo Mc Arthur and Tommie Dziubinski are competing in their age category as additional members.
The opportunity of competing in this National event will be a great experience for all five Victory Runners. Congratulations …… We know you will all give your very best.
Come join us at Willandra for Week 21. Walk or Run the choice is yours. Saturday 16th August at 3pm.
