The ACC Cross Country Carnival was held on Thursday 1 June under clear sunny skies at Perry Lakes Reserve.

Thank you to all our courageous athletes and their families who came out to support the AvÐÔ°® Team.

With some 80 schools competing and around 4,000 competitors, AvÐÔ°® achieved 13th in the Overall Aggregate Shield.

Other pleasing category results were:

• U14 Boys 4th

• U15 Boys 2nd

• U15 Age Group 5th

• Boys Overall 7th

Unfortunately, the team was hampered by significant illness and injury, and although we fell short of our Top 10 goal, the effort and attitude of all our runners on the day was brilliant.

We had many outstanding individual results:

Darren Fernandez (Capt)   Yr 12              2nd

Max Buiks                             Yr 9                 3rd

Jude Pitcher                          Yr 8                 5th

Lachlan Angelatos               Yr 9                 16th

Mason Fidcewicz                 Yr 9                 17th

Henrique Peres                    Yr 8                 25th

Chloe Wong Yr 11 26th

Charlie Robbins                   Yr 9                 28th

Oscar Cordina                      Yr 8                 30th

Callum Morgan                     Yr 9                 35th

Griffin Angelatos                 Yr 7                 35th

Isabella Alves-Veira Yr 11 41st

Apart from these sensational individual performances, the most pleasing aspect of the day was the positive 'team first' attitude along with the courage and determination demonstrated by each and every one of our athletes. 

Thanks especially to our dedicated running coaches Mr Reno Sinagra, Mr Michael Royall and Ms Natalia Ciavarro. 

We hope to see all our athletes continuing with Running Club and Athletics Club offerings and maintaining fitness in preparation for the upcoming Athletics season.

All results from the ACC Cross Country Carnival are now available on the ACC website, and the College SPORTAL.
