Cooper cleans up at school sports awards

Congratulations to Garingal rookie and NSW Schools team member Cooper Horley who was named Junior (Year 7-10) Male Athlete of the Year at Killarney Heights High School.
This is a huge result given he is only in Year 7 and was up against some stiff competition.
Cooper was u13 cross country champion as well as his O exploits across 2019 where he was part of the Carbines team that won the Australian schools trophy for the first time since 2002.
He received his awards from Matildas star Caitlin Foord.
Well done Cooper!

Another successful State League season has ended with a terrific NSW Sprint Champs around Sydney Uni, one of our best short-course maps, on Sunday.
More than 200 people enjoyed some challenging control locations from Australian junior rep Alastair George under sunny skies.
One standout result was new Garingal junior Charlie White taking out M14A by four and a half minutes.
Hosts Big Foot surprised us with biscuit prizes in the shape of a foot, with pink icing!
All the results, splits and Routegadget or Livelox links are on our SL web page, and final OY scores have been posted here. Badges will sent out to clubs in the next week.
A big thanks to all our course setters, controllers, organisers and club helpers throughout the year.
Our 2020 State League kicks off with the NSW Sprint Champs at Botany on Saturday March 21.
