GENERAL COMMENTS
Hearing aids and implants were not allowed for AWD competitors. The measures put in place to comply with the duty of care, were to provide these AWD runners with coloured wrist bands so that check point officials had a way of identifying runners as hearing impaired in the event of an accident, injury or need to communicate.
This requirement will need to be filtered to all levels of Cross Country carnivals so that athletes become familiar with the process.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks to Gail, Kelly, and Andrew for a great job in assisting with the supervision and organisation over the carnival.
To Neil, Peter, Rhonda and Pat and the School Sports Unit for the support and help that they provided in the administration of the team leading up to the carnival.
