Cross Country Results

What an incredible day at Bundoora Park! Magnificent sunshine and awesome Spring weather greeted the schools as they arrived on course. Some amazing individual and team results, sizzling finishing times and wonderful support from the spectators on course and at the finish line all made for a memorable day for the competitors. All in all, it was a great celebration of sport for our Association.

Congratulations to the Division 1 champions, St Bede’s College, winning their first title since 2010. St Bede’s also won the U/15 and U/17 Age Group awards to cap off a great day for their school. Mazenod College won the U/13 Age Group award, with St Joseph’s College winning the U/14 and U/16 awards, as well as the Junior and Intermediate Cups. St Bernard’s senior squad had an unbelievable result, with their first 6 runners finishing from 2nd to 7th place overall, giving them a record team total of 27 points. This result obviously won them the Senior Age Group award and helped secure the Senior Cup also.

In Division 2, CBC St Kilda performed best across the day, winning the Aggregate Award for the first time since dominating from 1999 – 2010. They also won several other awards across the event – U/13 and U/14 Age Groups and the Junior Cup. Their main competitor was Salesian College, who also featured strongly in the awards. Salesian won the U/15, U/16, U/17 and Senior Age Group awards, as well as the Intermediate and Senior Cups.
