Trinity College Colac’s House Cross Country took please under blue skies with a refreshing breeze supply some natural air-conditioning for the fast-paced competitors.

The students set off in gender year groups, heading off on the 5km course through the back streets of Elliminyt. The packs soon split off, with the athletes settling into their rhythm and giving it their all for the prize of being the fastest in their cohort.

Staff on bicycles kept pace with the runners and many also ran and walked the course, urging on the competitors and enjoying some time with the students out of the classroom.

Congratulations to the age group champions for their commitment to excellence, and special mention to the overall champions who are listed below.
