Cross Country Results 2022
Thursday May 12th, Marlborough P. S. had House Cross Country. I would like to sincerely thank all the parents, teachers, teacher aids, office staff, students who so generously gave up their time to act as officials and supporters to make the whole event run smoothly and successfully. We could not have run this event so outstandingly without your help. It was so rewarding to see the whole school competitors running and trying their Personal Best. Also great to see some teachers and support staff who also put in 100 percent effort. I believe all the children had a fantastic time and it was great to see all the smiles as they crossed the finish line and received a ribbon plus a Zooper Dooper! Congratulations to all competitors and to Jones as the winning house, followed by Ford, Kenny and Cawley.
A special thank you must go to Kate Flower who gave up her time to help put flyers in the surrounding houses letterboxes around the course on the Wednesday. Also to Beck Trevillian for also volunteering her time to help set up the course on the day and stay on the table helping invaluably with Jane Barnes.
The District Cross Country was on the 25th May at Quambee Reserve at Park Orchards. Results next newsletter.
What a wonderful, exciting House Cross country we had. Thank you Marlborough Community.
Yours in fitness,
Bonny Chisholm: PE Specialist.
