Speed, stamina and determination were put to the test during the first week of term, as students in Years 7-13, including the Year 7&8 girls from the Girls’ School, raced for the finish line at the annual cross country.
With some heavy downpours in the preceding days, and some showers on the morning, the runners faced some true off-road running, encountering well-worn muddy patches as the day progressed – but not quite as muddy as the ‘days of old…!’
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 heavy, muddy, 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 Stark for taking top honours, and good luck to those going onto the zone competitions!
