Wellington Cross Country Champoinships
Harcourt Park
A beautiful winters day at Harcourt park made for some good racing at the Wellington Cross Country Champs. Sticky underfoot but not too bad given the rain we had in early winter. I noticed some warm ups were cut short or a little half hearted due to some sly Football World Cup watching on phones :)
Plenty of our runners rewarding themselves with a hot beverage at the coffee cart afterwards. And rightly so after an awesome effort.

NZSS Cross Country Champs
Trentham Memorial Park
What an awesome event the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships turned out to be. A muddy and wet event made the racing very challenging with boggy, heavy underfoot conditions. Our park is a bit worse for wear now!
Some fabulous results with Fin and Madison both achieving selection for New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country team. They will race in Australia in August. Big congratulations you two.
Our podium finishers were Caleb with a silver medal and Fin with a bronze in their events. Kiana, Matthew, Fin, Cam and Madison all placed in the top 10, and many other TUH runners were right up there.
In the team events, Caleb, Thomas, and Nikos achieved bronze in the 3-man event for Year 9 Boys.
