City District Cross Country

This Friday 2nd May, we will have 33 of our talented distance runners, across the 9-12yo age groups, competing in the City District Cross Country at Brisbane Grammar Playing Fields. These students qualified by finishing in the top 5 at our district trials last term and have been training hard during, and after, the school holidays to prepare for the day.

We will be competing against over 30 other schools across the district and in the A division of schools for the A division trophy. Last year we finished a fantastic 2nd overall in the A division and against every school, based on our school numbers and results, we were crowned the OVERALL WINNERS on percentage! Good luck to all our runners on the day, we cannot wait to hear how you all go.
