Thanks to competitors who didn’t allow the extremely wet and muddy course deter them from running or walking their distance for Week 22
With our last official week of activity next Saturday 30th. August we are very thankful despite more rain than normal and less westerly winds than normal our total weeks for the season will be 24 counting an Open day on the first Saturday in March.
Most importantly we are pleased to report our five members who were competing at Ballarat in Athletics Australian Cross Country Championships all did well. Apparently conditions were very cold, the course had man made mud, logs to jump, sandy patches and was basically flat.
The experience gained from competing on a completely different coarse with large numbers of competitors would have been very beneficial.
Cristine Suffolk, who has had many years of this, certainly deserves CONGRATULATIONS. Competing with all the male & female Masters 4k event, placed 1st in the 55 – 59yrs. Age category in a great time of 18:30. Well done …. a great effort Crissy.
Annie Dziubinski who placed 9th in her 12yrs 3k event, ran well to finish 2nd NSW competitor and was awarded a Bronze Medal in the Team section. Brother Tommy, running in his first National event in the 10yrs 2k distance finished in a good time of 8:33.
Our two 11 years 3k members , Owen Harlor finished in the 40’s in a time of 11:49. Cleo MacArthur, finished in the 20’s in a good time for the 3k of 12:19.
We hope these youngsters all enjoyed the experience of an Australian Championship.
We look forward to seeing you all at our 3.00pm final event on Saturday 30th. August and our Presentation Day and AGM on Saturday afternoon 20th. September.
