- Fieke Van Der Kamp (WU18) book a spot at the Nationals with a run of 18:20.9 in the 5000m. As the only female in a large field, Fieke showed lots of courage & stuck to her mission.
- 7 out of 10 Juniors do 1000pts! DVAC is fortunate to have so many talented juniors lining up to compete each week. In Round 7 this was so evident on the Most Valuable Athlete list where the DVAC list was headed by Asher Andrews (1303), Tara Smith (1219), Ally Brooks (1208) and Kirra Wright (1198). Other Juniors in the top 10 were Mackenzie Genders (1125), Vanessa Smith (1054) and James Hurley (1069). Congratulations to every athlete who contributed to the Valley total score.
