DISTRICT CROSS COUNTRY

 

On Tuesday 25th May, 50 athletes from Mullum Primary competed at the District Cross Country at Quambee Reserve, North Ringwood.  We are in the Warrandyte South Sporting District which includes – Our Lady’s, Ringwood Heights, Croydon, Ainslie Parklands, Marlborough, St Annes and St Richards primary schools.  Our venue changed this year due to Council work being completed at Domeney Reserve. Our new course seems a bit flatter with one very steep hill.  Students competed in their age groups on a warmish but very windy day – and we only had one down pour of rain.  9/10 year olds ran a 2 kilometre course; 11/12/13 year olds ran a 3 kilometre course.  Congratulations to our whole team for a fine effort!! 

 

The results were:

 

Finishing top in their race categories were:

12/13 boys          Caden M              3rd          Grade 6

                                Kade M                 4th          Grade 6

Each race had between 45 and 60 competitors approximately.

 

A big thank you to Olivia Thomas, Samuels’ Mum, who helped as a course marshal.
