On Friday 4 August, students from Years 1 to 6 competed in our Faction Cross Country Race Day. The weather was gloriously sunny with no wind (a relief after Wednesday’s wet day), and perfect condition to run. All students participated enthusiastically in the event and tried their best, with many students training in their own time.
Years 1 to 2 ran 600m (1 lap). Year 3’s ran 1.2km (2 laps). Year 4’s ran 1.8km (3 laps), Year 5’s ran 2.4km (4 laps) and Year 6’s ran 3km (5 laps) of the course. All students who participated earnt faction points towards Vasse PS Faction Carnival Day on Friday 20 Oct. The top 4 Cross Country Runners earnt extra points towards each faction’s overall Champion Individual Medals on Carnival Day.
The top 5 runners in Years 3 – 6 will be selected for the VPS Cross Country team to compete in the 2023 Interschool Cross Country in Margaret River on Friday 15 Sept.
A huge thank you to the Cape Naturaliste College Head of Dept Greg Hopkins for his support and to the Year 11 students and who played a big part by assisting as starters, timers, scribers, and placing. This event was the best one yet with your help.
Well done to all students who participated. See our winners below, an amazing effort by all.
