Cycling

Congratulations to James Kolesnyk (9/MO ) who, at only 14 years of age cycled in the NSW Club Team Time Trial Championships the weekend before last.

With a start at HMAS Albatross at Nowra, James’s team of four from St George Cycle Club, rode in wintery conditions of only seven degrees for the 20 km trial—uphill and into the wind, to capture the Silver medal in the U17 competition, in a time of 37:48.76.

Cross Country

Congratulations to Callum Lowe-Griffiths (10/PR) who has been selected to represent New South Wales in Cross Country by the New South Wales Combined High Schools Association. Another great achievement for this budding sports star.
