SENIOR SCHOOL

Cross Country

Mr Jamie Cook - Leader of Sport and Co-curricular

The beginning of 2022 was massively hindered by the weather and it was a challenge to complete the 2022 Cross Country carnival before our pathway deadlines.

With extensive rainfall, at the backend of term, our beautiful College grounds had been severely waterlogged and they, unfortunately, were not in a state to host our usual track. With rain the night before our re-scheduled date, the decision was made to hold the carnival on the many roads and footpaths the College provides. Our ‘Competitor’s Only’ carnival, was hindered by student absences and poor weather, but the students who did participate did so without complaints and performed very well on the day.

Once again, our students will have two opportunities to represent the College in 2022, through our pathway event at Parramatta Diocesan Carnival and at the ISA Carnival.

The Junior age groups (12, 13, 14 and 15’s) completed on a 3km course around the Junior and Senior campuses, while the Senior students (16’s, 17’s and Open’s) completed a 4.5km course on a similar track. The boys were enthusiastic to compete, and this was demonstrated by their efforts on the course.

Congratulations to the following Age Champions and Runner’s Up: 12 Years Age Champion – Seth Obereigner Runner Up – Avanindra Sikarwar 13 Years Age Champion – Cooper Clugston Runner Up – Nile Bushby 14 Years Age Champion – Max Anastasio Runner Up – Nathan Salter 15 Years Age Champion – Archie Nott who completed the 3km course in 10:35 Runner Up – Jake Simmons 16 Years Age Champion – Mason Hunter Runner Up – Hayden Ciguenza 17 Years Age Champion – Joel Offord Runner Up – Elliot Power Opens Age Champion – Lucas Bucca Runner Up – Blake Ciscato
