SEMESTER 1 BEEP TEST CHALLENGE
On Thursday 27 April the best of the Year 7 beep testers from each form descended on the gym to compete for the title of ‘The Best Beep Tester of 2023’.
It was an intense battle of the runners as the girls and boys competed against each other. A strong field was still running at level 9, but this was the turning point where only the fittest could survive.
As the beep test headed into level 10 there were only a handful of runners left, a very impressive effort for the Year 7’s. Our eventual winners were:
Boys competition
In 3rd place Frankie Hillier
In 2nd place Kynan Koolstra
In 1st place Finn Rowe Hansen
Girls competition
In 3rd place Ella Malhotra
In 2nd place Zoe Paech
In 1st place Jasmine Chilco-Burns
This was a fantastic effort from all of the Year 7 runners, well done!
