Ports Hills XC and NZXC - Ari NZ Champ!




Hi all
Well done everyone on your racing today....60 of the team racing today at the Port Hills Under 17 Cross Country races with the Year 5, 6 and 7 Boys all having 9 runners there. It is great to have a race as part of your training as you will never run as fast in training that you can in a race...also a good chance to try some different tactics when the results don't matter too much, some of you were looking very good and the training is paying off...others are running themselves into form and others are coming back after injuries.... and many others raced from sports in the morning to race...we will let you know when results are out...I have a few certificates to hand out on Wednesday too.....

Congratulations to ARI GRAHAM (Year 7 Girls - pictured winning at Waikanae by David Eglesfield) who won the G12 New Zealand Cross Country Championships in Waikanae, Wellington today - a fantastic effort! Fergus Eglesfield (Year 8 Boys) was 4th and Angus Bailey (Year 7 Boys) was 6th in the B12 race with Fergus only 13 seconds off the winner. Ella Harris (Year 7 Girls) was second Senior Women on handicap in the Governor's Bay to Lyttelton 10k Handicap Road Race this morning in about 41.40.

See you Wednesday at Barnett Park, 4.30pm.
Cheers
Paul:)
