A Fantastic Morning of Cross Country on Saturday!

A huge thank you to everyone who turned up and supported Knox Cross Country yesterday.

What started as a challenging morning due to the unexpected double booking quickly turned into a great example of teamwork, cooperation and community spirit. It was fantastic to see Knox, Caulfield Grammar, and the other APS schools all working together to make sure the cross-country events could run smoothly.

A very big thank you to Kim Mullhall and the team at Caulfield Grammar, along with the other APS schools, for working so cooperatively with Knox throughout the morning. Their support and flexibility helped turn a tricky situation into a really positive cross-country morning.

While the course was different to what our athletes expected, it was great to see them embrace the challenge, adapt quickly, and give it their best. Cross country is all about determination, resilience and having a go, and our Knox athletes showed plenty of that.

Thank you also to our amazing volunteers, officials, families and supporters who assisted with set-up, course changes, marshalling, parent duties, timing, pack-up and encouraging the athletes around the course. Events like this only happen because of the people who step in and help.

Well done to all athletes who competed. You took on the challenge, ran hard and represented Knox proudly.

Thank you again to everyone involved for helping make it a fantastic morning of cross-country.

🚨 KNOX CROSS COUNTRY – URGENT UPDATE No 3 FOR TOMORROW 🚨

APS Course map

The course map below has been provided by APS for tomorrow; it will give athletes an idea of the course layout we are using. Please note that there will be some adjustments to the course; however, this gives everyone a sense of the layout.

Reminder: the race order for tomorrow:

U9-10 1500m > U6 500m > U13-17 3000m > U7-8 1000m > U11-12 2000m.
Our U13-U17 will run in the APS 3 km race.
Please note that if you are an under-6 runner, the race will be earlier than usual tomorrow.

Racing will start on time at 9 am for Knox athletes

We will have PA and will be announcing the races as usual.

Tomorrow will be a little different; we therefore ask everyone to please be patient and considerate tomorrow morning as we work through on-site logistics. We would like to thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

🚨 KNOX CROSS COUNTRY – URGENT UPDATE No 2 FOR TOMORROW 🚨

We have had further discussions with APS tonight and made some changes to our race program to suit both programs being run.

Our new race order for tomorrow will be:

Race Order:
U9-10 1500m > U6 500m > U13-17 3000m > U7-8 1000m > U11-12 2000m.

Our U13-U17 will run in the APS 3 km race.

Please note that if you are an under-6 runner, the race will be earlier than usual tomorrow.

APS have already set up their course for tomorrow and have kindly offered to allow us to use it, albeit with some additions for our 500m loop. Knox will be on site from 7am to set up our Knox equipment.

🚨 KNOX CROSS COUNTRY – URGENT UPDATE FOR TOMORROW 🚨

We have been made aware late this afternoon that APS has also booked Nortons Park for a cross-country event tomorrow morning.

We have contacted APS this evening to find a suitable solution so that both cross-country events can proceed with minimal impact on each other.

Knox Cross Country will still go ahead; however, we ask everyone to please be patient and considerate tomorrow morning as we work through on-site logistics.

Car parking will be affected, and we may need to make some adjustments to our course arrangements. The race program will still start at 9 am and proceed in order.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Knox Little Athletics is deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Jemma Stapleton while overseas on a family holiday.

Jemma was a valued member of the Knox Little Athletics community, competing as a Little Athlete with the Rowville Club. From an early age, she showed great talent, determination, and a genuine love for athletics, achieving success at the Knox Championship level and later representing Knox at the State level.

Many within our Centre will remember Jemma and the Stapleton family with great fondness.

On behalf of everyone at Knox Little Athletics, we extend our deepest condolences to Jemma’s family, her partner Tyler, her friends, and all those who loved her during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest in peace, Jemma.

A GoFundMe has been established, with the family’s approval
