On Thursday 10 June SPSC attended the State Cross Country Championship at Oakbank Racecourse. Oakbank is well known for its challenging running course, unforgiving weather and high-level competition. Our runners demonstrated strong camaraderie and a growth mindset in completing their designated race. Along with coaches Rick Wilson, Stuart Mitchell, Zac Connel (HWD 2020) and Max Weir (YNG 2020), I couldn’t be prouder of the collective effort the team demonstrated.
