City2Surf 2014
No doubt, it has been an awesome last couple of months for those who ran in the City2Surf on Sunday…
A huge congratulations to everyone who completed the gruelling 14 km track. Out of the Newington team, David Charlton (9/MA) was placed 473, Nicholas Bertino (11/FL) came in at number 1,621 and John Triantafilis (7/MA) at 2,207. These top three runners placed us 8th in the Athletic Team Club Category with Newington being the largest Athletics Team entered by far! What an amazing result to achieve knowing that there were over 85,000 entrants in the race this year.
This year our community got behind the Humpty Dumpty foundation with a special City2Surf breakfast guest starring Ex-Wallaby player and Old Newingtonian Phil Kearns. Despite the early morning rain, there was a great turnout of over a 100 runners who received their official Newington College bibs. A special thanks goes to the 121 registered boys who raised in excess of $20,500 for Humpty Dumpty.
Congratulations and see you at the starting line next year!
