Dear Parents and Guardians,
Cranbrook played a full round of Winter trial fixtures on the weekend. It was great to see the Winter season in full swing and all the students giving it their best during the trial period. A big thank you to all who turned up and supported Friday Night Lights at Easts rugby club. We look forward to competitive games beginning in the coming weeks.
Cross country had their first invitational on Saturday Mr Uncles reports… Centennial Park presented some incredibly marginal conditions for the first race of the season, with relentless rain and muddy trails providing conditions reminiscent of many of last year’s fixtures. A number of spectacular results made for a hugely successful morning, with debut runners Walter Heeley and Oscar Rouse establishing themselves firmly in the front pack of the Juniors race, both placing in the top 15 of 127 runners. Cranbrook won the Intermediates race with Henry Roberts, Edwin Alder, George Cardonnel and Remy McKay all placing in the top 10, highlighting Cranbrook’s depth in that division. Huon Groves, cool, calm and collected for the entire 8km, took out the Opens race in a field of 96 runners, putting forward a masterclass in consistent pacing and a seemingly effortless stride. We look forward to another exciting season ahead.
Well done to all our Rowers who competed at the Nationals in Tasmania last week. In the pinnacle of Australian Schools rowing competitions Cranbrook had plenty of fantastic results and PBs. A fitting end to the rowing season. Congratulations to all involved.
