2021 House Cross Country Age Group Champions

The annual St. Arnaud Secondary College House Cross-Country was held at Lord Nelson Park and the surrounding bush on Monday, 3^rd of May. The conditions were great for cross-country running, although some students found themselves having to dodge a low flying drone!

There were three age groups for both boys and girls – junior, intermediate and senior. The girls all left together and ten minutes later, the boys began. Students covered a four kilometre course and all students that competed to the best of their ability should be proud of their efforts.

The first girl was Keegan Amos, followed by Millie Hando and Abby Weir placing third for the students. In the boys, Sam Male was the first student back, followed by Owen Lowe, with Deon Tannock third. Holmes was the winning team on the day, followed by Willmott, with Morshead coming in third. Thank you to all the parents who came along and supported the event.
