Athletics and Cross Country

It is so fantastic to see Pymble athletes participating at various Park Runs. From the challenging Wildflower Park Run at St Ives, ranked as the sixth hilliest in Australia to one of our boarders who competed at her home Park Run in Mudgee. The Pymble Cross Country carnival is only two weeks away – we urge everyone to keep up the great momentum.

Our Pymble track and field students continue to shine across a range of events, including the Thrower’s Club, Region Little Athletics, High Velocity and the All Comers meets. Our Pymble athletes achieved excellent results and medals from the Regional Championships.

Congratulations to all students for their continued dedication as they work towards NSW Junior Championships. A friendly reminder that entries for this event close on Friday 23 February.

The large turnout of athletes at sprints and hurdles training sessions on Tuesday and Thursday mornings is very encouraging. We thank Melinda Gainsford-Taylor and Jilska Van Der Wall who create an energetic atmosphere on Pymble main oval.  Our students are thriving under this direction, showing speed and, importantly, having fun!
