An enormous congratulations to Ashleigh Mangan (Year 10) who represented Wheelers Hill at the SSV State Cross Country Championships at Bundoora Park. Ashleigh ran in the 16 Year event and completed the 3km course in 13 minutes and 11 seconds. It is a wonderful achievement to compete at this level. Well done Ashleigh.
