It may be colder, dark and wet but there is still lots of exciting events happening. With cross country races and indoor track meetings, there are lots of opprtunity for athletes to continue to challenge themselves across the winter months.
Primary Cross Country - LAA track
Saturday 29th November
When the original venue for the local primary cross country championships became unavailable at the last minute, LAA quickly reorganised the event to take place on their own track.
282 children from year 5 & 6 raced a 1.3km course around the grass verges.
Parents had the advantage of watching the entire race from start to finish without moving around.
LAA club members shone brightly, especially in the Year 6 boys category.
A special congratulations goes to Fable, Isaac, and Oliver, who filled the Year 6 boys podium. Nice work lads! (Race results & Team results)

SPORTS NUTRITION
Thanks to our resident sports nutritionalist, Megan Hickey, who helped make SMOOTHIE NIGHT a success for our teen athletes.
We hope they learn about refueling, recovery and repair .... all through the power of the banana smoothie or choclate milk :)
SEE YOU AT TRACK!
