On Tuesday 27th April, 24 amazing St Mary's runners headed to the Wollongong Diocesan Cross Country Championships held at  “Willandra” Browns Mountain Road, West Cambewarra. The weather was perfect and students were very excited and a little nervous to get their races underway. I must admit I was pretty nervous and I think my heart was racing all day. 

Our Representative team for the Cross Country Championships; Max B, Torin D, Alexander B, Anika D, Evie P, Tehya G, Cameron W, Jacob D, Tristan P, Georgie D, Alexandra W, Charli P, Hamish K, Brigum D, Matt R, Audrey S, Abby L, Faith S, Kristian P, Rylan B, David K, Charlize D,  Zara C and Tess W.

Every student did really well and I was so proud of all of them.  For the smallest school in the Diocesan we had so many outstanding results.  A big congratulations to Audrey S who came 1st in the Under 11’s girls race and Hamish K, who  came in 5th Place in the under 11’s boys.  They will both go away on the 8th June and represent the school at the next level NSWCPS Cross Country held at Sydney Motorsport Park, Eastern Creek. We wish them the best of luck.  

We had many great results at the carnival and I was so impressed with the students sportsmanship and courage on the day they represented St Mary's with pride. Thank You to the parent helpers that were marshalls we couldn't have done it without you Tara and Chad.  Also thank you to the parents that drove their kids and others up to the course it was so good to see you all and supporting each other and being back at sporting events after last year.
