CSEN Cross Country

By Mr Shaun Doherty (Sports & Senior School Teacher)

On Tuesday, July 24 approximately 80 BHCS students traveled to Bundoora Park to compete in the CSEN Combined Cross Country. 

Students had to run either a 2km, 3km or 4km race based on their age group and faced really tough conditions with heavy winds all day long.

BHCS achieved some excellent results, with multiple 1st, 2nd and 3rd place results, however most pleasing was the spirit in which each student competed.  Each student went out and gave it their personal best and showed great determination in finishing.  There was a lot of encouragement and support being shown and a really positive atmosphere amongst the team.

Some stand out performances were as follows:

• Jack P - Under 21 Boys- 1st
• Lachlan U - Under 21 Boys- 2nd
• Hugo F - Under 16 Boys- 2nd
• Matt N - Under 16 Boys- 3rd
• Paris H - Under 15 Girls- 1st
• Josh B - Under 15 Boys- 2nd
• Olli B - Under 14 Boys- 3rd
• Kianna V - Under 14 Girls 2nd
• Abbey R - Under 13 Girls- 1st
• Josh W -  Under 12 Boys- 2nd
• Hunter C - Under 12 Boys- 3rd

I would like to congratulate each runner on not only their attitude and effort, but also their willingness to participate in an event that can be grueling at the best of times.  I would also like to thank Mr Davidson, Ms Beach, Ms Douglass, Mr Black and Mr Rule for their help throughout the day.
