Interestingly, just as for the summer 2012 National Athletics Championships in March (see March 18th post), we had 7 juniors from our club representing NSW. This time the lucky and talented 7 were: Edita Grinbergs, Daniel Cooper, Lachlan Cooper, Josh Phillips, Daniel Francken, Hannah Gibson and Bethany Halmy.
By all reports conditions were pretty bad with thick mud 4 inches deep by the time the older age groups ran. Our juniors were among the lucky ones who did not lose their shoes. Unfortunately Edita's sprained ankle flared up again half way through her race and she was a DNF. The other 6 all came about half way up the field and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, soaking up the atmosphere and talking to top runners from other states. Daniel Cooper was part of the winning NSW team in his race.
We await photos of Edita and Daniel Francken.
