Senior School Cross Country Trials
The Sports Department is running a trial to select the MLC School Cross Country Team to compete at the IGSSA Cross Country Carnival on Friday 7 May 2021 at Frensham.
The trials are open to students in Year 6 to Year 12 who are experienced long-distance runners. It is NOT a come and try day. Runners enter this event because they would like to be considered for selection in the MLC School Cross Country team.
The trial will be held on Monday 15 March 2021 from 8.30am–3pm (approx.), so please check it does not clash with any assessments or excursions.
A bus will depart MLC School at 8.30am and will transport students to and from Bicentennial Park in Homebush. The students will return to school at around 3.15pm.
Distances to be run at IGSSA (based on the age you turn in 2021) include:
- 12–13 years – 3 kilometres
- 14–17 years – 4 kilometres
- 18+ years – 6 kilometres
This trial is for those who are confident running the distance required, and are available for the IGSSA Cross Country Championships on Friday 7 May 2021 at Frensham if they are selected for the team. Selected girls are expected to attend MLC School Cross Country training on Thursday mornings.
Any student who is unavailable to trial due to clashes with other school excursions but still wishes to be considered for the MLC School Cross Country Team may still be considered dependent on numbers and past cross-country history. The top 8 qualifying times from each age group will qualify to represent MLC School at the IGSSA Cross Country Carnival.
Please express your interest in trialling by Monday 8 March 2021.
If you have any questions, please contact Esther Maling emaling@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au.
