In a classic Melbourne morning that had all four seasons in an hour, Kayla DeBondt, Leonora Contaxis & Sarah Minahan have run superbly to secure 3rd place in the Women’s Division 4 XCR Relay at Princes Park. Today was the first time that SKAAC has ever entered a female AV XCR team in our own right and provides a perfect springboard to XCR 2018 when our Mens Team will also run under the famous SKAAC colours for the first time since 2002.
Kayla led off in her first hit-out since returning from Europe in 11:03, followed by Leonora in 14:13 (having to run in freezing wind and rain!) and finished superbly by Sarah in 13:14.
Thanks to Pat Di Natale (SKOBFC Saints Coach) for his assistance in getting the team together and also to Tristan Mioni for his support as team manager for the day.
Please see the before and after shots, and the fact that the team was still smiling afterwards, prompted the question…”how about the 4×800 at State Relays?” I lived to tell the tale – so watch out at the relays!!
