The CPS Cross Country was held at Eastern Creek on Tuesday 8th June. Bathurst was well represented by over 60 competitors. There were some outstanding performances on a very difficult course.  Many competitors talked about the step up in competition from our Diocesan event at Coolah.

Thank you to our Team Managers Paigan Anderson and David Maher for all they did to organise our athletes ( especially with the problem with al Polding teams with incorrect dates of births / age groups on the bibs that had to be fixed on the day!) Thank you also to the parents and grandparents who transported the children and supported them on the day. It was fantastic to hear that many schools live streamed the action so classmates could cheer our athletes on from a distance!

Congratulations to all our competitors who did their best on the day.
