Northern Metropolitan Regional Finals – Cross Country

Last term, four students competed in the Northern Metropolitan Regional Finals for Cross Country at Kilmore Racecourse. The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow over the green expanse of the racecourse. Each student had trained tirelessly, and their determination was evident in their focused expressions. As they took their positions at the starting line, the air was filled with a mix of anticipation and excitement.

The race began with a burst of energy, as the runners sprinted forward, their feet pounding the earth in a rhythmic cadence. As the race progressed, the initial burst of speed gave way to a steady, determined pace. Each runner found their rhythm, pushing through the physical and mental barriers that cross country uniquely demands.

As the finish line came into view, the crowd’s cheers grew louder, urging the runners to give their all in the final stretch. The four students crossed the finish line, each with a sense of accomplishment and pride, knowing they had given their best effort.

In the end, it wasn’t just about winning or losing; it was about the journey, the camaraderie, and the personal victories each student achieved.

We congratulate the below students for their outstanding efforts in Cross Country for 2024 and wish Hudson Coath all the best in competing in the State Finals later in the year
