The results are official!
Nowra placed 2nd in the Hooper Cup Pointscore at NSW Country Championships. Nowra finished on 599.50 points, behind the much larger Mingara Club on 791 points and in front of Illawarra Blue Stars on 497 points. The home club Dubbo were 4th on 383.50 points.
Last year Nowra placed 8th in the Hooper Cup with just 279 points so the improvement is remarkable and one to be immensely proud of.
This amazing achievement from Nowra was due to the awesome effort and outstanding results by the 45 Nowra athletes who competed at Dubbo!
Nowra had a high participation level across most events including 28 athletes in the 800m where 18 medals were won for Nowra, and 17 athletes in the 1500m who bagged 13 medals. In the sprints 23 Nowra athletes contested the 200m winning 8 medals, and in the 100m 7 medals were collected from 21 athletes.
The throwing and jumping events were also well represented.
Congratulations Nowra athletes.
