YARRA Ranges Athletics competed at the Knox Little Athletics Club cross country open day on Saturday— an opportunity to fine tune preparations for State Cross Country Championships next weekend.
Also up for grabs was the Perpetual Open Day trophy for the champion club.
A large turnout of club athletes and some exceptionally loud cheering saw the club retain the trophy for the third consecutive year.
Some outstanding performances across all age groups from Under 6s to open / over age on the day were undoubtedly the result of support from fellow club members.
The senior club members competed in AV XCR16 Round 7 on Sunday; the 10km and 3km road races at Albert Park with all races finishing on the Lakeside Stadium track.
Next week, the club is competing at State Little Athletics Victoria State Cross Country Championships at Cruden Farm, Langwarrin.
If you are not competing, why not come along to support the club athletes at this historic venue.
