Heartbreak Hill Youth Race

Today was the running of the 16th annual Heartbreak Hill International Youth Race. A pretty good sized chunk of the team came out to help, some of us showing up as early as 7:30. I personally got there around 7:50, at which point there were already 10 or so others. We helped with the construction of the balloon arch, which was surprisingly fun. Afterwards we hung around city hall for a while, eating free food and playing (or watching others play) football. By the time the first race went off, there was a large contingent of (past and present) Newton South athletes present assisting the race directors. There were some great performances by young runners during the day, but here are some notable ones:
