Box Hill Relays Sun 26 Oct

We had a fantastic day at Box Hill invitational relays on today. All Knox athletes participated with the Knox spirit – great sportsmanship, enthusiasm and friendships developed and strengthened. Knox won heaps of medals, too many to mention, and everyone had a great day.

When it started to get hot around lunchtime, competing athletes and friends enjoyed the free ice-poles provided by the Team Managers. Thanks Mirella, Brett and Steve. Karen also helped with fitting out our athletes and coaches in Knox tops on the day.

It was great to see all the parents along the back straight cheering as the athletes ran past. What a fantastic feeling. We even saw the odd tear as we celebrated success with pride. For the people who stayed around for the last two races, we witnessed some of the best runs you’ll ever see. Believe it or not, it was actually the U9 boys and girls who were amazing; the determination especially from our U9 boys team was second to none. How great was the final medal ceremony right at the end?

Thank-you to all the coaches for their time and effort so far.

We also want to thank a very special person, Stephen Hough who setup ‘tent city’ on Saturday, coached the U15’s and U8’s and was Relay Co-ordinator for Knox. Stephen is a fantastic volunteer every other athletics centre would love to have; he does a great job at the track and behind the scenes.

Keep an eye out for all the great photos taken by our Knox photographers on the day.
