We are three weeks away from the Cross Country carnival.  This is always a fun day where athletes run, walk and skip their way around our amazing school grounds. Our Pymble Cross Country athletes have been training hard and building their fitness to what may be the first or last carnival competed in at Pymble. For our Pymble athletes that are serious about this sport, a recommendation is to join your local Park run in the next few weeks. Park Runs are held every Saturday morning at convenient locations in Sydney.  These also provide excellent race practice in preparation for carnival and they are a lot of fun!

We also have many Pymble track and field athletes preparing for NSW Junior Championships to be held at Sydney Olympic Park in early March. For those students registered to a club, entries are currently open and will close on Friday 23 February. Many students competing this weekend will be involved in a number of events across Sydney in preparation for these championships. Good luck to our Pymble athletes!!!

Below is a great action shot of Sarah Lovell at the NSW Combined Championships where she won gold!  Congratulations Sarah!
