Chalmers wins cross country

Our Girls’ School Cross Country has always been organised as several different events. This year the Year 7 and 8 races took place in Term 1 along with the College runners, followed by our Junior School and Middle School races in Term 2.

The Year 3-6 girls headed to the College for their race and took on the sloppy and sometimes muddy terrain in full stride as they raced around the field. This year, our Year 3 students joined the Middle School and Senior School students for the race at the College. The younger girls ran one lap, while the seniors tackled two laps of the field. A day earlier, the Years 0-2 girls ran two loops of the Martyn Wilson Field opposite their new Girls’ School on Shore Road.

Despite a drop in temperature, we were fortunate to have fine weather throughout the races held during the term. Our Girls’ School students gave it their all at their annual Cross Country. No matter the age, our girls put their stamina to the test in a sport that takes some resilience. It is great to see runners keeping at it despite some finding it more of a challenge than others, with the support from their House Leaders, peers, teachers and families who cheered them on to the finish line.

Well done to all girls who participated, especially to those who took the podium spots and Chalmers House for taking the win.
