The final round of XCR17 was held at the fast, flat Princes Park, Carlton on Saturday morning.
Ever-changing conditions greeted close to 2000 athletes for the final round, team relays around the 3.2km circuit.
Yarra Ranges Athletics had 14 teams competing in the various grades and divisions finishing with the best placings being a first, second, third and fourth.
Congratulations to the Girls U14s, Girls U16s and Women’s U20 teams for winning medals and the Boys U16 team narrowly missing bronze.
The club welcomed some debutants this week including Hayden Rooke, Ashley Rooke, Danielle Graves and Tom Barker.
Great to also see some old faces back in time for the track season.
