Cross Country

On Friday 17 May, our incredible cross-country team ventured south to Frensham for the igsa Cross Country event. Despite the chilly morning, the clear skies set the stage for an amazing day. Team spirit was palpable, and in true Pymble fashion, our athletes rose to the occasion and raced exceptionally well.

Despite losing several athletes to sickness and injury the week before igsa, our reserves, who had continued to train, stepped up magnificently. We medalled in every age group except for one, which is truly outstanding.

This year marked the debut of the multi-class event at igsa, and a big congratulations to Sybella Warton (Year 11) for winning the 3km race.

As always, the support from parents and Pymble staff was fantastic.
