Unfortunately, due to an initial clash on the calendar and then a deluge of rain, our College Cross Country carnival had to be held in a competitors only style format within the College grounds. In a first for me, as the Sports Coordinator at St Patrick’s for 20 years, we actually had to run the race over two days to ensure all students were given equal opportunity to compete and earn the right to represent the College at the Wollongong Diocesan Championships in Nowra. For the record, this is something I may try to avoid in the future! Fortunately, we were greeted with two fantastic days on the back up dates, which allowed the girls to compete over the tough 3km course.
