CIS Cross Country
Thursday 12 June 2025
On Thursday 12 June, 12 Shore Cross country runners were selected to participate in the CIS Cross Country races at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre. Under sunny but cool conditions, the boys performed admirably against the best CIS runners in their age groups. The 12 Shore runners selected for the Championships were Zac Robertson, Henry Grieve, Alexander Baxter (13 years), George Harvey, Jackson Harris and Toby Ward (14 years), Hugo Pope (15 years), James Warren and Jonty Jagger (16 years), Tom Gray (17 years), as well as James Bestic and Daniel Becker (18 years). All boys are to be congratulated on their selection for this event.
The best Shore results included:
- Toby Ward – 17th in the 14 Years division (and 3rd GPS runner)
- James Warren – 22nd in the 16 Years division (and 6th GPS runner)
- Tom Gray – 13th in the 17 Years division (and 3rd GPS runner)
- James Bestic – 17th in the 18 Years division (and 5th GPs runner)
It is wonderful for the boys to be able to race against some top-class competition, and it should enhance their performances in the regular Saturday races as a result. A special thanks must also go to the parents for their time and energy in supporting the boys on this day.
