Cross Country News - Coach Darren

Last week in 'Lap of lake Lorne' we had an epic battle between Cameron Donald and Sienna Stewart which resulted in both athletes running personal bests over the 1.4 km course as a consequence Sienna lowering her own record by 5 seconds, results of last weeks time trial Cameron 5.10, Sienna 5.12, Archie Stella 6.12

Records for fastest lap in the males is Will Kilpatrick with 4.25 set in 2017 and females is Sienna Stewart 5.12 set in 2020, they are the fastest recorded times since 2015 when I first started coaching at Saint Ignatius College.

It’s great to see that 168 have registered for the Great Australian Cross Country Challenge, and some very impressive times posted! 

We only have a few more weeks left for this challenge so I encourage everyone to give it one more crack ( could even be some prizes for section leaders! )

As it stands now on the leaders board for Saint Ignatius the top 2 are:

Year 7

Jacob Irwin 13.16, Noah Jeffrey 15.41

Lily Leorke 17.06, Evie Lewry 18.23

Year 8

Max Craven 16.36

Sienna Stewart 17.09, Philppa McIntyre 20.05

Year 12

I would love to see some of these people come to training with me, as I know I can get you running even faster! If you can't make lunch times I have squad training in Geelong on Tuesday & Thursday nights. Pleasesee me if interested.
