FOUR Loreto students recently returned from Melbourne with a Victoria All-Schools X-Country Relay four by three-kilometre event win.<\/p>\n
Amali Torney, Bonnie Burt, Ailish Ryan and Aria Violini took just over 47 minutes to run the race and were competing against 22 other schools from across the state.<\/p>\n
“It was really exciting, especially since I just started at Loreto, so it was really cool,” said Aria.<\/p>\n
This was the first time Loreto had entered a team in this event and Ailish said the group was thrilled to take out the win.<\/p>\n
“I was probably shocked when the race started and Amali was doing so good,” she said.<\/p>\n
“It was great to see Aria bring it home.”<\/p>\n
Unlike other running races, this event required a team effort, which Amali said makes the win even more special.<\/p>\n
“Relays are really fun because we get to be with each other instead of against each other,” she said.<\/p>\n
“We get to have fun before it and celebrate together so it’s much more fun.”<\/p>\n
The four students thanked their teacher Kelli Baird for her support and said they are looking forward to competing more in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
