Chalmers Win Cross Country!

April 15, 2019 at 11:44 AM

The Middle College, Senior College and Year 7 &8 students put their speed and stamina to the test at the end of term, as they raced to the finish line at Cross Country.

With very little rain in the preceding days, the runners were blessed with great conditions for off-road running! Firm underfoot and clear skies overhead made for fast times by the competitors, aided by plenty of support from family and friends on the side-lines.

This annual event, originally a steeplechase, has been held at the College from the year it was founded in 1953, when mud, fences and farmland provided a challenging course. While the fences and paddocks are long gone, replaced by lush sports fields, the mix of steep hills and long inclines still present a stern challenge for even the most accomplished athletes. Those who had eyes on the podium places, and the chance to represent the College in wider competitions, had put in hard training in preparation. For others, the event offered a chance to set a personal best and contribute to the inter-House championship.

Congratulations to Chalmers for defending their title and good luck to those going onto the zone competitions.
