Vic Little Aths XC Champs

Move State Champs, again at Bundoora, it has been a busy week or so! 16 kids from my Squad ran today, busy busy busy, lots of easy running chatting with kids, talking strategies, c]alming some down, geeing some up and a few cool downs and lots of running from location to location for the best viewing...

Friday was a BIG day and so was today, whilst not the same overall standard, but still the very best Little Aths kids were here today. The first race of the day involved Lexie and I knew she would do very well as the girls who beat her on Fri were in an older age group, she started the race and sat exactly where I asked her too, for the first 1km she sat in 5th immediately behind the leaders and 50m from the top of Mt Cooper she made her move and no-one could go with her and she won by 25m, in 48 hours I now coach a State rep and a Little Aths State Champ, a great way to start the day. The final race of the day was a silver medal for Brooklyn and in between there were lots of other great runs! A couple of others managed top 10's and many in the teens, a very succesful day for the group!

A big :-) , very proud of the kids and very happy that it appears that the winter program worked quite well!

I didn't see your name in the XC 16k results. How did you get out of that?!
