Division Cross Country

Our 11 qualifiers competed in the Monash Waverley Division Cross Country event today in variable weather conditions. These students had finished in the top 12 of their race at the District event held recently.
Hannah, Nicholas P, Mackenzie, Kester, Jasmine, Rasha, Georgia, Mason P, Hayden N, Nickolas K and Olivia did themselves and SJV proud with their amazing efforts today. The 12/13 year olds races were run in the rain and our students all persisted and all finished with great results in their races. Kester finished 7th in his race and has therefore qualified to run at the Eastern Metropolitan Regional event to be held on the 12th June at Yarra Glen. Fantastic achievement Kester!
The 11 year olds races were very high in number of competitors - our girls both pushed through and finished strongly despite the tough competition. The 9/10 year olds were also large events and were run in very muddy conditions. Mason just missed qualifiying for Regionals and finished 13th in his race, and Georgia finished 23rd in her race - both amazing results.
Here is how our students placed today:
Mackenzie 30th
Hannah 75th
Kester 7th
Olivia 59th
Jasmine 83rd
Georgia 23rd
Rasha 63rd
Mason 13th
Hayden 45th
Nicholas P 46th
Nick K 61st
Congratulations to our amazing competitors today - they all did their best and had a great time even when we had to shelter under the tarp during the heavy rain! Thanks also to the parents who came to support our students.
