Our Interschool Cross Country Runners had a successful day at the CPSSA Cross Country Carnival last Tuesday 25th July. The weather looked threatening all day but the heavens never truly opened up - a relief to all involved! Up against fifteen of the biggest Catholic Primary Schools in the metropolitan area, our runners performed admirably, regularly finishing in the places and generally all in the top half of the 48-strong field.
Our Lady of Grace walked away with all three shields, but few were hot on their heels all day. Mel Maria were third in the Girls’ Aggregate, second in the Boys’ Aggregate and second overall. Our students gave their best efforts in uncomfortable conditions up against some very strong competition. A list of students who finished in the top ten in their races can be found below - well done to these runners!
Thank you and well done to the team, who were fantastic as always. Mr Williams and Mrs Yensch were in charge of marshalling the troops throughout the day so a big thank you to them too. Lastly, we had a great parent and grandparent turnout on the day, so thank you to those family members who were able to get down to UWA Sports Park to cheer our team on.
Onwards and upwards for next year!
