Cargill wins Boys’ School Cross Country

Our Boys’ School Year 4 – 8 students turned out in full force for their Cross Country race which took place at the College campus this week.

The weather was perfect with clear blue skies except a little nippy as can be expected of any winter morning. The boys were full of energy at the starting line and took off at lightning speed as the starting clapper struck.

Whether running came naturally, with some effort or proved a hard slog, it was encouraging to see our boys dug deep and giving it their best shot in a course that was firm but muddy in places, not to mention some challenging uphill slopes.

A day before, the Junior Boys were at the starting line, running two laps of the Martyn Wilson Field. The youngest of our syndicates showed equal determination throughout the course with encouragement of their teachers and families from the side-lines.

Well done to all those who competed, in particular those who gained podium placings and to Cargill House for winning this year’s Cross Country title. Special thanks to parents and teachers who were cheering the students on throughout the races.
