Secondary Cross Country Carnival 2018

This year’s Secondary Cross Country Carnival was a great day with no rain and lots of sunshine! The heat started to increase throughout the day which made hydration and seeking shade an important part of the day for our runners and officials.

The races started from the Beerwah Sports Fields and continued through the surrounding bushland. The level of participation was very high and this ensured the success of the event. Several hard fought wins from our exceptional school athletes were on display as well as commendable efforts from all others who managed to finish the race in the heat.

Amongst participants this year, we have a group of talented runners that through training and determination managed to finish their races within the first six placings. The majority of these runners will have the opportunity to compete at the District and Regional Cross Country competitions.

Congratulations to Ararat who this year managed to win the Middle School Cross Country and to Sinai who took out the Senior School Competition. Congratulations also to Ararat who finished in front overall from Year 3 to Year 12. There was only one point separating Sinai and Zion from second and third place!
