Homestead Cross Country
The 2022 Homestead Cross Country saw the introduction of a new course and a change in distance for some events, with all races now being run over 3km. The conditions were cold, dry and windy, which made for a challenging run.
It was pleasing to see many students embrace the challenge, take on the new course, and finish with a sense of pride as they passed the finish line knowing that they had given it their all. Congratulations to all students who embraced the event and finished the course inside the time limit on the day. Top 10 finishers in the Year 7 & 8 races were offered the opportunity to assist as Hares at Penbank and Minimbah’s District Cross Country events. Well done to these students who not only ran well in our event but went on to to help our primary schools with the running of their carnivals.
The results across the day were evenly shared, with four different Homestead’s winning the four Tutor Group awards on offer. Overall, Homestead 4 was victorious on the day, and Homestead 7 achieved their best result for several years finishing in 2nd place. The best-performed runners at the Homestead Cross Country will now proceed to the SIS Division A Cross Country Carnival, at Baxter Park on Tuesday, 31 May. Spectators are welcome to come along and support our students at this event.
