 2024 Ben Venue PS Cross Country Championships

The Ben Venue Cross Country Championship was our second major sporting event for the year. The course proved challenging for many runners, but some very impressive overall results were posted on the day. 

 

From this carnival, the top 6 runners have been selected to represent our school at the 2024 Armidale Zone Cross Country Championship held on Friday 24 May at Bellevue Oval UNE. From there, a squad of Zone representatives will compete at the North West Cross Country Championships. A permission/information note will be sent home after the holidays to those involved, including a timetable of events.

Congratulations to all who participated in our school cross country carnival and a special thank you to the teachers and school student leaders who assisted at the finish line with recording, judging or time-keeping on the day.

 

An extra special thank you to the parents who assisted with setting up the carnival.  Your time was greatly appreciated.
