Girls Take on Muddy Cross Country Course

Cross Country for our girls this year was run in three parts, with the Years 0–2 students running laps around the Martyn Wilson Field for their first taste of long-distance racing, the Years 3–6 students heading to the College for their races, and the Years 7 and 8 students competing against the College on their Cross Country day.

The Years 3 to 6 girls battled some rather muddy conditions, their legs splattered with dirt as they raced into the finishing chute. Meanwhile our youngest girls had great weather as they completed their 2–3-lap course around the fields by the school. Our Intermediate girls gave their College counterparts a run for their money and came out with some incredible results, taking first and third in the Year 8 competition, and first and second in Year 7. See page 75 for more.

This year, Cargill claimed the top of the podium, having the most points from student participation and top-ten results. Congratulations to our winners and all who showed up to race, support, and cheer on their friends.
