District Cross Country

Last Friday was the Rowville District Cross Country Championships held at Gilbert Park. 60 students represented Park Ridge in either 2km or 3km races depending on their age. 

I was proud of the team’s commitment and attitude towards our training program, which began in term 1. Overall we finished in 5th place out of 8 on the day. Park Ridge Park Run will continue every Wednesday morning throughout the year for any students who would like a bit more fun and fitness in their life. Students just need to arrive at the fitness track at 8.15am and join in.

Congratulations to the following students who finished in the top 12 and have progressed through to the Knox Division Cross Country Championships on the 29th of May.

Savannah S – 11th

Jordan S – 4th

Lincoln S – 10th

Tiara J – 8th 

Bailey R – 4th

Ellee K – 9th 

Noah S – 12th 

Aleeyah L – 12th 

I’d also like to give a shout out to the following students who, due to a number of students withdrawing on the day, came into the team as an emergency and actually ran in an age group above how old they are. Well done and thank you to these students for their positive attitude and willingness to represent Park Ridge at the District Cross Country: Sanu P, Ashtyn T, Jackson F and Lucas H.
