Cross Country Champions Crowned

The annual College Cross Country returned in fine form in Week 1, with over 1,860 students lining up for the 3km course across the College grounds. A crisp, clear day set the scene, and although the track was soft underfoot in places, it only added to the classic cross-country challenge. 

This year marked the event’s reinstatement as a compulsory event, and the increase in numbers brought a renewed sense of energy and competition. Every runner earned points towards their House total, with the final results as follows: 

1st: Cargill
2nd: Wilson
3rd: Stark
4th: Chalmers
5th: Wishart
6th: Hamilton

Well done to all who competed, and congratulations to the top three place-getters in each age group. With two wins in as many years, Cargill will be the House to watch in 2026. The top ten from each age group will go on to represent Saint Kentigern at the regional championships later this term. Individual Champions:
