GSV Preliminary Cross Country Championships

On Tuesday, 17 May, our Cross Country squad competed in their first race of the season at Yarra Bend trail. Twenty-five students competed in the event: Thirteen juniors, eight inters and four seniors.

Our first junior across the line was Nati S, finishing in second place. It was a tight battle with her twin sister from Fintona. Nati had also won both practice runs in her age group prior to the prelims. Congratulations Nati, what an outstanding effort and our highest place runner of the race! Our second junior across the line was Annabelle M (64th place) and our third junior was Katie Herson (66th place), out of nearly two hundred runners in this age group.

In inters, Beatrice Z was our first ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ student across the line (27th place), followed by Kara J (46th place) and Charlotte L (65th), out of a field of over hundred runners.
