It was a case of deja vu at our annual NSW schools champs in western Sydney at the weekend, as Greenwich PS (Primary), KNOX Grammar (Secondary) and CIS (region, pictured) retained the trophies won in Wollongong a year ago.
On Saturday, Garingal put on two demanding sprints at Hills Grammar and Cherrybrook Tech High School. The irregular shapes and angles of the buildings made navigation trickier than it looked, and the warm day sapped energy levels.

Sunday morning was much cooler as WHO hosted us on the flat bushland of Wianamatta Regional Park. The grid of roads and tracks in the former defence land offered navigational security for beginners and more challenging cross-country options for the tougher courses.

It was fantastic to see students from more than 50 schools in attendance. This reflects the tireless work by our network of coaches in the Sporting Schools program and at the various regional schools championships.
And it was great to see students who had travelled from as far as Grafton and Wagga to compete.
A big thank you to the organising clubs, setters, organiser and controllers; and Lyn Malmgron and her team of helpers who ensured the students got underway confidently at each event.
