INTERHOUSE CROSS COUNTRY

Last week’s Interhouse Cross Country Competition featured a fantastic location, beautiful weather and great participation from our students across all four Houses. 

The Running Club has certainly helped with student training this year and as a result, the College can celebrate the achievements of a number of outstanding student results. 

  • The age champion for 12 years with a time of 15 MINS & 57 SEC was Charli Russell (PRINCIPALITIES House). This is a new school record for this age group.
  • The age champion for 17 years with a time of 14 MINS & 43 SEC was Brooke Davis-Goodall (DOMINATIONS House). This is a new school record for this age group. Not only was Brooke’s time the fastest recorded on the day, but it was the fastest time the course has ever been completed in at our College!
  • The age champion for Opens with a time of 16 MINS & 24 SEC was Summer Donnelly (DOMINATIONS House). This is also a new school record for this age group.

The Winner for the 2021 Cross Country spirit award was DOMINATIONS, while the winning house went to THRONES.

Congratulations, again, for a great Cross Country competition.
