Greater Western Cross Country

Our Cross Country athletes competed in Warrnambool last Monday and were fortunate to have perfect conditions with a beautiful sunny day.

Greater Western Championships attracts secondary schools from as far away as Warracknabeal and Kaniva on the South Australian border. To qualify for the state finals in July, runners need to finish in the top 12 or first place in the teams in their age group.

Trinity students put in a sensational effort with some amazing results in the various age groups. Congratulations to the seven students who qualified for the next round.

Congratulations to our Qualifiers:

Harmony who finished 1st in the 16 Girls age group with a time of 12.32 minutes over 3km.

Jack who finished 2nd in the 17-20 Boys age group with a time of 17.08 minutes over 5km.

Izaac who finished 4th in the 15 Boys age group with a time of 9.47 minutes over 3km.

Jarryn who finished 5th in the 14 Boys age group with a time of 10.27 minutes over 3km.

Reegan who finished 7th in the 15 Boys age group with a time of 10.03 minutes over 3km.

Thomas who finished 12th in the 16 Boys age group with a time of 19.09 minutes over 5km

Darcy ran a time of 11.25 minutes over 3km in the 15 Boys.

Darcy qualified as a team member of our Trinity 15 Boys’ team. For the first time, I can remember, our 15 Boys’ team finished in first position – a great effort by Izaac, Reegan and Darcy.

For those people who like their Maths, those times put most of qualifiers running sub 4 mins a km.

Georgia, Maddy, Toby and Stella finished in the top 20 runners in their age group. We also had a lot of PBs, so well done to all of our runners for their efforts on the day.

Thanks also to David Miller, Vicki Dambo, Alaska King and Millie Sibley for their assistance throughout the day.
