Cross Country

The cross country season is well and truly underway. The Stella team has been training since Term 1, and they showed that hard work pays off with outstanding results at the IGSA Cross Country Carnival.

It was perfect conditions for running at the IGSA Carnival which was held at Frensham on Friday 16 May. The rain held off and the Stella team enjoyed running on a real cross country course at Frensham. The Stella team had outstanding results, with top four finishes in four age groups – an outstanding result at such a high level event. Some of the age groups had more than 150 competitors!

Congratulations to the following students who finished in the top 12:

• Sarah C – 1^st in 12 years (winning by almost 2 minutes!)
• Bella R – 4^th in 13 years
• Amelia M – 3^rd in 14 years

Best of luck to the team who will compete at CGSSSA Cross Country this Thursday 29 May.
