It's Regions for Isabella!
Well done to our 8 St Joey's competitors who qualified and raced in the Southern Peninsula Division Championships held at Hastings Foreshore two weeks ago.
Of these, Alfred Hindle, finished 1st in the 12/13 yr boys Multi-Class and also Isabella Willcock finished in her fastest time yet in 8th place for the 11 yr girls 3km. Both have now advanced to the SOUTHERN METRO REGION finals as a result of finishing in the top 10 inthe division race! What a tremendous effort! We wish Isabella and Alfred all the very best for their Region Finals this Wednesday, 18th June, at Hastings Foreshore against some of the best long distance runners across this large area of Victoria.
