CROSS COUNTRY 

School Cross Country 

Wednesday 5 April

This year’s course was a 3km loop around Lillydale Lake, starting and finishing at the school.

Well done to each competitor who made it across the finish line, trying their personal best and supporting each other! 

Huge CONGRATULATIONS to all our Age Croup winners listed below.

Age Group Winners

Student Entry: On Friday 5 May, Lilydale High School’s very own cross country runners went out to Lilydale Lake to compete in the Yarra Division Cross Country. 

Lower age groups ran 2.5 kilometers around the lake whilst the higher age groups ran 5km.

Everyone that competed did an amazing job and for some, will be moving to the Eastern Metropolitan Region Cross Country next month. 

Regardless of where they placed, everyone that competed did a great job and we look forward to seeing them compete next year.

Yarra Division Cross Country 

On a sunny Autumn day at the beginning of May, 60 of our LHS students were invited to compete at the Yarra Division Cross Country event.

• Nayeli Craig, winning the U13 Girls  
• Zoe Clark, winning the U14 Girls  
• Hunter Ryan, winning the U15 Boys 
• Ky Harris, winning the U20/Open Boys 
• Maddie Laven, winning the U20/Open girls 

The following students also placed in their events:

• Hector O’Leary, 2nd U13 Boys
• Jye Aitkin, 3rd U13 Boys
• Tahira Craig, 2nd U13 Boys
