ATHLETICS:

Andres Hernandez finished 37th at the World Schools Cross Country in Paris on Wednesday night, he was the 4th New Zealander and the New Zealand team was the 4th placed team. All the runners who had a birth date of 2002, Andres finished 5th in his year group. Andres had a bad cold and Team Management recommended he withdraw before the event. Those who know Andres will know that his very focused attitude would never allow that. A great effort by Andres and an excellent performance on the World stage. Well done Andres.
