Matthew MacDonald of Old Haileybury won his second Athlete of the Year award despite missing the last three runs with a stress fracture. Anna Thompson of Old Wesley won her fourth female athlete of the year award – all in succession. It capped off a great year for Anna with Australian representation in the World Cross Country Championships, Commonwealth Games 5000m and the World Student Games, and an Australian Cross Country Championship win.

Most Consistent Athlete of 2002 - Field Rickards (OW)

Most Improved Athlete of 2002 - Belinda Meredith (OB)

Cooke-McClelland Shield

The 2002 Cooke-McClelland Shield will be remembered as the race where the leading pack of runners took a wrong turn with Paul and Darren Wilson going so far off course that they finished well out of the teams and individual calculations for the race. Despite the loss of its two best runners, Old Scotch still managed to win their 36th 8km CCC. Andrew Stolz bettered his own Old Geelong record for the event with his 26:35 and Old Geelong equalled their best placing in the race with their 4th placing.

Old Haileybury women won their first ever 8km CCC with their lowest ever points score of 26. Old Xaverians’ first ever finish in the women’s section (3rd with 57 points) was obviously their record for this race. Anna Thompson smashed her own APSOC and Old Wesley record for the event with her 27:25.
