Cross Country

Division Cross Country

On Monday 21st May, 90 students from Wantirna College across Years 7-12 competed in the Knox Division Cross Country. Despite the less than desirable chilly weather all students arrived eager to do their best whilst representing the College. Kings Park in Upper Ferntree Gully provided a very scenic and bushy course for the students to run; all girls and 7-9 boys running 3 kms and senior boys running 5 kms. All students competed with outstanding persistence and spirit. It was also fantastic to see the students supporting one another to complete the races.

A special mention must go to the following students who were placed in the top 5 in their respective events:

Girls:

Tayla Hopper: 2nd- 13Yr
Danielle Griffin: 2nd- 14Yr
