The 2019 season started well at the central zone regional meeting, with highlights including the intermediate boys winning both the 3 and the 6 man teams races. 

Cross Country


Impressive results Individually saw Zane Powell win the Intermediate boys race with Seb Wharton 2nd Sam Finnegan 4th and James Harding 5th.

At the Auckland Championship meeting at St Kentigern College on a superior and well set out demanding course our boys competed strongly with the intermediate team being our best performers.

 

Cross Country 2

Intermediate 6 man team

 

The highlight in the teams racing was the intermediate boys placing a close second behind National Champions Westlake being beaten by 1 point in the 3 man 14 points to Kings 15 points and again narrowly in the 6 man with Westlake 1st 58 and our team 63. Individually Zane Powell was 2nd in the intermediates and James Ford 3rd in the juniors.

 

 

Cross Country 3

Intermediate 3 man team

 

In June the teams travelled to Timaru for the NZSS cross country championships and on a most demanding hilly course our best performed athlete was James Ford 5th in the yr9 race and Zane Powell a first year senior placed 11th out of the 200 senior runners and did enough to be selected for the NZ SS cross country team to compete against Australian School in Wollongong in August
