District Cross Country

DISTRICT CROSS COUNTRY TEAM 2025

On Friday 9th May, our team of 50 students travelled to Mirrabooka Reserve in Blackburn to compete in the 2025 Monash Heights District competition. 

The first 20 runners from each race qualified for the Division level competition. All our students were striving to finish in this top group for their races and were determined to gain every point they possibly could for the school. Needless to say, there were mixed feelings of excitement and nerves upon arrival. The weather was perfect for this event, clear blue sunny skies. All students successfully completed the course this year and we’re pleased to say there were no injuries or other medical issues.

The overall results for the Monash Heights District Cross Country Competition were:

1st -       Essex Heights  400                 2nd -      Mt Waverley   428

3rd -      Mt Scopus       445                   4th -      Jells Park         472   

5th -      Burwood East  581                  6th -      Wheelers Hill  613

With all students who placed in the top 20 progressing through, it means we have 16 students at the Monash Waverley Division competition, being held again at Mirrabooka Reserve, Blackburn on Wednesday May 28th from 10.00 - 11.30 am. Well done to all our Wheelers Hill 2025 Cross Country runners! 

Special Congratulations and best of luck go to this group of outstanding runners:

Thank you to Miss Arzuman for joining us on the day and supporting the students. Also thank you to the two parents (Aaron’s mum Laki - and Roy and Lauren’s dad Soobeom) who gave up their time to assist with marshalling at the event. It was very much appreciated!
