Albert O’Brien (Year 9) feels incredibly honoured to have been asked to award a cup, in his name, to celebrate AWS Athletes (Athletes With Support) at the Primary and Intermediate Schools Inter-Regional Cross Country.
From Primary and Intermediate schools around the Wellington region, the top cross country athletes are invited to join the Regional Cross Country Team, to compete against Canterbury, Tasman & South Canterbury teams. Since 2021, this has included AWS athletes. Albert was part of the Wellington team from 2021 to 2023, winning his event twice.
This year, the Inter-Regional Cross Country is being held at Harcourt Park, Upper Hutt on Thursday 26th of September. Albert hopes he will be able to present his cup to the Wellington team.
Congratulations Albert, what an honour!
