Jesse (Finished 2nd), Karl, Marko, Nicholas and Lucas (Ist Reserve)
Over forty eight eager students represented Our Lady of Angels at the Diocesan Cross Country. What started as a chilly morning turned into a glorious and warm day at the Sydney Motorsport Park at Eastern Creek.
Every student represented the school with great pride. Every student on the day showed tremendous determination and perseverance and set personal best records. Most of our students who have represented OLA in previous years at the Diocesan Cross Country improved their ranking, beating their previous years' achievements.
The top 8 students in each level move onto the next stage. We would like to acknowledge Jesse Eldred who will represent OLA/Parramatta Diocese at the NSW Catholic Schools Cross Country in June. Along with that, we would like to congratulate Lucas Lesar who finished ninth and is first reserve for the event.
The OLA cheer squad needs to be commended, as after the students finished their race, they commented on how this helped with their determination to push themselves to complete the race and strive to go to the next stage.
A BIG thank you to all the parents for their support during training and on the day.
