Meckering Cross Country
On Friday 20th August we had four students represent the College at Meckering Cross Country in the open event, James and Emily Fergusson, Charlotte Crossen and Marshall Rawlings. Their incredible efforts left the College placing 6th in the competition with only four students running. James and Marshall placed in the top four for their category. James won the male open event with a time of 14:36. Congratulations on your great efforts.
