BAILEY PIPER AND ASHER SADGROVE - WORLD CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS

Brothers Bailey Piper (5/6) and Asher Sadgrove (3C) attended the world cross country championships at Mount Panorama in Bathurst from the 17th-19th February, the first time the event has ever been held in Australia.

The best endurance runners in the world were in attendance including world record holders, Olympians and world champions from track, road, steeplechase and cross-country disciplines.

As well as getting the chance to meet some of their idols, Bailey and Asher also competed at the event, Bailey in the U13 2Km Schools cross country challenge representing Wembley, and Asher in the U9s cross country event.

The weather was extreme with temperatures up to 35deg at times and the course was brutal with countless hills, soft sand, mud and tyres.

Bailey came 16th out of a massive field of 285 runners. He said it was “the toughest course I have ever run”. Asher incredibly ran second and took home a silver medal in the U9s.

Congratulations, Asher and Bailey, on your incredible efforts in Bathurst over the weekend, representing Wembley and your family. We are extremely proud of you both. We hope that you've given your uniform a wash before wearing it this week, Bailey!
