600m

The 600m is the toughest race. It's one lap and a half of the track at a very fast pace. You must be strong both mentally and physically for this race.

Not only must you battle for your place on the track on the inside lane - you must also sprint at the end of this race. The last 100m of this race is a fight against your mind and body to push through to the finish line. 

Successful 600m runners are very determined and focused. They have the ability to pace themselves correctly and they push themselves to the absolute limit. 

I am so proud of our medal winner this year. She has progressed from an incredible 4th place last year to winning a 3rd place medal this year. She displays all the qualities of a top athlete and is so well deserving of her Bronze medal - Congratulations! 😀🏆🎉
