ON AN Anzac Day morning that means so much, Yarra Ranges Athletes came together on Saturday morning to recognise and commemorate.
Before the running of round 3 of the Yarra Ranges athletics XCR season, a special service, held at a drizzly Margaret Lewis Reserve in Coldstream, was led by Rob Belli followed by a minute’s silence.
Once the running started, the athletes enjoyed the firm but slippery conditions.
The traditional cross country course at Margaret Lewis Reserve brings out the best in our athletes, with everyone relishing the challenge.
Results: 500m: Zoe Clarke 2.18, Hunter Shaw 2.37, Nathaniel Lucas 2.41. 1000m: Charlotte Comport 4.44, Cody Kear 4.53, Willem Poot 4.54. 1500m: Kiara Flavell 5.45, Madeline Laven 5.48, Mitchel Deckert 6.07. 2000m: Georgia Laven 7.16, Tayleb Willis 8.16, Tayja Maki 8.30. 3000m: Lachlan Scully 10.32, James Laven 10.59, Michael Clarke 11.14, Harrison Van Duuren 11.51, Jamie Strudley 12.13.
Next Saturday morning, cross country is at Morrison Reserve, Mount Evelyn.
Be there from 8.45am to register.
