The 2019 Spring Twilight Series has just finished. Over the 7 events, 256 people participated at least once - 144 students and 112 adults. On average, 118 people attended each event. This series would not have happened without the 75 volunteers who made it possible – THANKS!

Individual Winners:

Schools’ Long Distance - there were clear winners - Mikayla Cooper won all of her events and Will Whittington most of his.

Schools’ Medium Distance - Anna Mulcahy won easily. The Boys’ Medium class was decided at the final event when Marcus Degenaar just beat Henry Gell home.
