House Cross Country

Congratulations to all students who competed in the House Cross Cuntry event on Tuesday 28 July.

59 Senior House competitors (Years 10 to 12) completed three laps of the 2 km campus loop (6km), with 57 Junior House competitors (Years 7 to 9) completing two laps of the same course (4km). Prior to the day, each House was invited to nominate a team of six boys per event. Each team was to consist of two runners per year level.

On the day, we were treated to several outstanding performances and many amazing personal achievements.

None of this could’ve taken place without the enthusiasm and leadership of House staff, staff and prefects who volunteered their services as event officials and the support received from the School’s Grounds staff, Marketing and Communications and Ms Natalie Jackson (administration). My sincere thanks to all.

We can now look forward to the remaining SAAS Cross Country events, the House Athletics Program and Interschool Track and Field competitions, inclusive of the Achilles Cup.
