It was the Cross Country Relays inaugural event, and 210 teams from across the State came together at Cruden Farm in Langwarrin. Keilor Athletics was proud to have 18 athletes join together to have 6 teams running.
Cruden farm is known to provide some rough weather conditions for cross country, but whilst it was brisk in the morning, the sun came out and our Keilor athletes shone.
