Friday 17 May saw a large cohort of students running the Annual Aquinas Cross Country Championships.
The 3km course started on the school field, and winded around surrounding streets, through the gully and then through the entrance to the finish line on the field.
After some threatening weather earlier in the week, the sun came out for everyone to enjoy while racing and watching their peers race. The day made just that little bit sweeter with a juicie for all students who crossed the finish line.
Congratulations to all students and teachers who completed the course on Friday! Our winners for each race can be viewed below:
