College Cross Country 2015

On Wednesday the 1st of April we ran the annual cross country carnival in an attempt to select our representative team to contest the Diocesan Championships in Nowra in Term 2.

We again used the College grounds to host the event which proved to be challenging for all students involved. Having the entire school out on the course supporting the runners is a structure that is working very well and one that we would like to continue with into the future. The support and encouragement given to the runners really motivates them to achieve personal bests and is an excellent example of the school spirit that exist at St Patrick’s.

The overall winner for the day was Joanne S (16 Years) in second place overall was Ruby D (13 Years) and in 3rd place overall was Darcey M (12 Years). The future of cross country at the College is looking extremely good with so many talented runners coming through in the younger years.


The Age Champions for the day were as follows
12 Years – 1st Place - Darcey M, 2nd Place - Tara B, 3rd Place - Jermaine D
13 Years – 1st Place - Ruby D, 2nd Place - Amy S, 3rd Place - Jarian H
14 Years – 1st Place - Rory M, 2nd Place - Amelia A, 3rd Place - Olivia F
15 Years – 1st Place - Madeline K, 2nd Place - Ana Cornett, 3rd Place - Gemma C
