Two medals for Oxley in EISM Cross Country

The EISM Cross Country Carnival took place on Wednesday 6 September with our Senior Boys and Girls finishing on top in our Division. Although we were blessed with great weather, it was still a bit wet on the course, due to all the rain leading up to the event that took place at Ruffey Lake Park in Doncaster East. 

Organisers of the event decided that all Age Groups will run only 3km due to the wet course. We are pleased to announce that two of our runners received medals at this tight competition. Ryder H (7.1) finished first in the U/13 Boys in our division with a time of 11.26.0 and Ryan J (11.14) finished 3rd in the Open Boys with a time of 10.55.1. 

Ruan Rademeyer (11.14) finished overall 6th in the Open Boys with a time of 11.38.6. With Jessica Graham (11.14) finishing 4th with a time of 13.35.5 and Mary Spratt (11.15) finishing 5th with a time of 13.58.1 Oxley finished on top in the Boys and Girls Open Division. Congratulations to our Seniors!

Other great results on the day included Tori Seeney (8.7) in the U/14 Girls finishing 5th with a time of 14.30.7, Lilliana Filleul (10.3) in U/16 Girls finishing 6th with a time of 16.05.01 and Roman Young (10.3) in the U/16 Boys finishing 9th with a time of 12.34.8. Congratulations to all these students for finishing in the top 10 in our division and to all the students for your participation. Our Girls finished in fourth place and our Boys in sixth place overall.
