Cross country season ends on high



By JAMIE STRUDLEY

SUNNY, warm conditions at Lillydale Lake on Saturday provided the perfect atmosphere for a fun end to the Yarra Ranges Athletics cross country season.
Mixed age relays enabled athletes to partner with fellow athletes to complete a 500, 1000 and 1500m leg.
Lots of fun was had by all athletes and spectators.
That was followed by a spectacular barbecue lunch and the awards for another superb season of cross country.
Boy’s club champion went to James Laven with the girls being shared by Kiara Flavel and Georgia Laven.
Congratulations to all award winners and participants over the season.
The club looks forward to seeing athletes on the track shortly (for cross country pre-season).
Registration day is on Saturday 12 September, at Morrison Reserve from 9am.
Good luck to Veida Somerville, Amanda Branson, James Laven, Ruby Dixon, Georgia Laven, Kiara Flavel and Maddie Laven who will all be competing at the Australian Cross Country Championships this weekend.
