IT WAS yet another exciting weekend of competition with Yarra Ranges Athletics joined by not one, but two fellow clubs.
Cockatoo Little Athletics and Croydon Little Athletics clubs came along to a morning of strong competition, a challenging course, exciting finishes and many personal bests.
A huge turnout with the two visiting clubs meant that all races, especially the shorter ones had a very large field.
A special mention to Braydon Woolridge and Brianna Moore who both achieved huge personal bests.
Yarra Ranges Athletics would like to thank Cockatoo and Croydon for making the day so successful and congratulate all athletes who chased down personal bests or ran on the day.
Yarra Ranges Athletics returns next week with Round eight cross country at Margret Lewis Reserve, Coldstream from 8.45am and Athletics Victoria XCR Round three at Brimbank Park, Keilor from noon.
