Well done to our students who competed at the Diocesan Cross Country Carnival yesterday! Due to the rain this was not a teams event this year, but a selection trial for CCC. Athletes who placed in the top six qualified with 12 Holy Spirit students eligible for the CCC event.
Congratulations to Joshua Benefiel (Year 9) who placed 1st in his age group, and to Hana Barnes, Emily Benefiel, Hamish Dorney, Kye Mitchell, Mia Robinson, Keegan White, Thomas Cusack, Ruby Egan-Brown, Gillian Anderson, Xavier Fiumara and Tane Mathews-O’Brien who all qualified for the CCC Cross Country.
