Our 2K and 5K runners: Samuel, Amy, Sophie, Holly and Gemma



Gus rounds the corner from Shelly Beach for the final sprint in his age group winning 10K

The Manly Scenic Fun Run was held at 8:00am. on Sunday 20th May. The distances were VERY inaccurate, but officially there was a 2K, 5K and a 10K. This is the way of things with fun runs!

Amy Polikowski was first lady in the 2K, with Sophie Wickham 2nd - a reversal of last year's placings. Holly Wickham was 7th.

Gemma was 2nd 12-15 girl in the 5K. Young Samuel was held back by his dad we suspect - he is only 9, and was 6th under 12 boy.

State Road Race championships at Homebush - 6th May 2012

We had some incredible individual results with Daniel Francken coming 2nd in the under 16 boys 5K, Edita 2nd in the under 12 girls 2.5K and Hannah Gibson 3rd in the under 18 girls 5k. We also had a lot in the top 5 or 10. In the teams we won 3 golds, 2 silvers and 3 bronze sets of team medals! Not a bad haul.
