Staff Views on Sport Staff views on sport Many teachers at Cathedral College claim to be experts on sport. I asked them their views on several matters. This week I asked them to list their 5 greatest Australian sporting moments of all time. Remember, some of our staff are a little older so have seen a lot more football in their time. For example, Mr. Newbold is much, much older than Mr. Clark. More lists will appear in the coming weeks.

  • About8k August 2013
    AUGUST 2013 VOLUME 13 NUMBER 7 MONTHLY NEWSLETTER OF TOWNSVILLE ROAD RUNNERS INC Editors Email (Diane): [email protected] About 8k PRESIDENT’S REPORT This weekend brings on the 15 th McDonald’s Townsville Running Festival. The Townsville running festival was the first of its type in Australia. The primary core objective of the festival when it first commenced was to ensure that a marathon contin- ued to be conducted in North Queensland. This objective has been well and truly achieved with the Tony Ireland Holden Townsville Marathon remaining as the heart and core of the festival. This year’s course has been certified by the Association of In- ternational Marathons and Distance races. From what I hear, Oswald Kahuryri’s race record of 2:24:28 (2010) is vulnerable to be broken this year. But the festival has developed to a point where the once supporting events to the marathon are now prestig- ious events in their own right. The Queensland Country Health Fund Half Marathon will itself bring to- gether a field of class runners The Townsville Airport 10K Classic is also truly a classic race. One only has to cast an eye over past results to see the calibre of runner that this race attracts. Olympic legend Steve Moneghetti (festival guest this year) won the race in 2005. The race was actually 10.5km up until 2010 when it was then reduced in distance by 500 metres. The late great dual Commonwealth gold medallist Kerryn McCann won the Classic in 2006. Kerryn’s achievements included being a three time Olympian (1994.
