I thank every one of our athletes for supporting the day. I congratulate the boys for their support of each other and for their overall approach to the day’s challenges. A special thanks to all boys outside of our weekly Cross Country Squad for supporting our objectives inclusive of fielding age group teams.
On behalf of the boys, I thank our Coaching Staff, Adam Goddard, Zac Connell and Bailey Kerr. Their contribution prior to the event and valuable leadership/support on the day was extremely valuable to all squad members. Thank you also to parents, extended family members and staff who supported the boys’ involvement.
