Ruth’s Amazing Cross Country Results

Congratulations to Ruth (Year 8) who won the gold medal at the All Schools National Cross Country Championship in the 12/13 years girls division. Ruth, who is a member of our Emerging Athlete Program, ran an incredibly strong race and won convincingly. We are so proud of her commitment and dedication to her sport.

Ruth also finished 4th at the Athletics Australia National Cross Country Championships in Launceston, in the U/14 Girls 3km. Runners were presented with a very difficult, hilly and muddy course, temperatures of 11 degrees, and with 50-60 km/h winds gusting to 100 km/h. Brutally tough conditions for athletes and spectators alike.

Ruth has had a fantastic cross-country season and should be extremely proud of her efforts. Well done, Ruth!
