It has been a wet, cold and incredibly muddy Cross Country season with our athletes battling the elements in almost every race.  Cross Country events are seldom cancelled and it is a sport that requires speed, stamina, endurance and definitely a strong positive attitude.

Over the last few years, LJBC has built a strong group of Cross Country athletes which has been evident at both the All Schools and State Cross Country events this year.  Our athletes displayed strong performances in all divisions, with the following students making the 2021 National Team for either All Schools and/or the State Cross Country team:

• Kiera (Year 7)
• Nicola (Year 7)
• Ben (Year 8)
• Matthew (Year 8)
• Luke (Year 9)
• Tayla (Year 11)

I am really proud of the mateship displayed amongst all our Cross Country athletes and with the winter season almost over, this means the summer season starts soon.  I am looking forward to seeing what we can achieve at the ACC Athletics A Division Carnival this year, with training already taking place on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  If you have not yet joined the training sessions, it is not too late. Hope to see you there.
