State Cross Country

On Thursday, July 14, 5 brave Viewbank College students braved the cold Yarra Glen air and went to state cross country. 

Niamh H, Poppy S, Nik H, Eva W and Declan L all went out and ran for 3km in the cold grass, and ankle deep mud.

Our results were really great - up to 100 people enter each race, and each race is for all the students in Victoria of that year level - the top 100 kids. 

This means that all those there were (for instance) the top 100 15 year old girls or boys in the state.

Niamh came 69 out of 94

Poppy placed 8th out of 96

Nik came through 80th out of 93

Eva was 86 out of 92

And Declan managed to take a podium position - 3rd place out of 97!

These were amazing results for the college, and we congratulate every one of the kids on their amazing results, regardless of what they may have scored. 

They were amongst the fastest cross country runners in all of Victoria - that's about 65,000 kids PER AGE GROUP!
