On Friday, 27 May, a team of twenty-nine 新澳门六合彩开奖网 students from all year levels headed out to Cruden Farm for the 2022 GSV Cross Country Championships.
Students lined up with roughly two hundred other students from GSV schools to compete in a 3km (Juniors) or 4km (Inters and Seniors) race through the countryside.
The first race of the day was the Juniors, in which we had fifteen Year 7 and 8s competing. First across the line from 新澳门六合彩开奖网 was Nati S in a time of 11.52 minutes, placing 9th overall out of 232 runners! Nati received a ribbon and medal, as she finished 2nd in our division. Well done Nati! Second across the line from 新澳门六合彩开奖网 was Katie H (98th place) and third was Annabelle M (106th place). Well done to all Juniors who ran on the day.
Intermediate students ran next, competing in a field of 213 runners. First across the line from 新澳门六合彩开奖网 was Beatrice Z (77th place) in a time of 18.15 minutes for the 4km. Second from 新澳门六合彩开奖网 was Isobel B and third was Kara J. Well done to our seven intermediate runners who competed on the day.
Seniors were the final race of the day and a huge congratulations to our Senior Team who managed to finished 4th in our division, with only five out of a possible ten athletes running! This was an amazing result. First across the line from 新澳门六合彩开奖网 was Emily M in a time of 16.52 minutes for the 4km run. Emily came in 22nd out of 178 runners.

We are so excited to be launching our Junior Rugby 7s program at 新澳门六合彩开奖网 in Term 3!
新澳门六合彩开奖网 will be part of a pilot program under GSV and Rugby Victoria to encourage girls to take up the sport. Rugby Victoria will be sending NRLW players down to run coaching sessions on a Tuesday afternoon in Term 3. Students will then play in a round robin competition towards the end of the term with other GSV schools.
This program is aimed at students who are new to the sport and would like to learn a new sport.
Rugby 7s is a fast paced game and an Olympic sport! We encourage students to sign up and be a part of one of the fastest growing sports in the world for women and girls.

All students have been sent an email with sign up information for Term 3 sport. This needs to be completed this week.
