Regional Cross Country Success – June 5

On Wednesday, June 5th, thirteen of our dedicated students travelled to Drouin Golf Course to compete in the Regional Cross Country Championships. With the top 12 finishers in each category progressing to the State event in July, the competition was fierce — and our students rose to the challenge.

The day started on a high note with Kye Fisher (Year 7) delivering an impressive performance to finish 11th, securing a spot at the State Cross Country. A huge congratulations to Kye!

In Year 8, Mathew Churchill (17th) and Ruby Ogilvy (18th) ran strong races, demonstrating their determination and endurance. Our Year 9 runners — Locklan McIntosh (17th), Nya Kill (28th), and Tyler Mortimer (34th) — all put in solid efforts on the 3km course.

Jess Churchill (Year 10) placed 22nd, with Year 11’s Mia Trevethan (26th) and Bella McKean (27th) both finishing closely together, showcasing teamwork and perseverance.

In the Under 16 category, tackling the demanding 5km distance, Johnny Wilson (17th), Dallas Walker (23rd), and Lachie Moriarty (25th), all from Year 10, ran commendably in a tough field.

A special mention goes to Raoni Althorp (Year 12), who completed his final school cross country event with true grit — finishing the race while carrying a shoe in his hand after losing it a third of the way in!

Well done to all our athletes for their outstanding efforts and sportsmanship. You represented our school with pride and determination. Thank you for making it a memorable day!
