Diocesan Cross Country Report 2024
The weather at this year’s event was great with the dam again nearly at full capacity. Students represented St Clare’s at the Diocesan Cross Country Championships with enthusiasm throughout the day at Lake Glenbawn on Thursday 9 May. Students displayed remarkable effort and a commitment to compete and do their best in their event.
From this event, students who finished in the top 6 qualified for the NSWCCC Cross Country Championship to be held in Sydney on Wednesday 5 June and have already been informed and given the details to register.
Thank you to the parents who made the trip to Lake Glenbawn. Also, thank you to the staff, Mrs Dunn and Mrs McCann, who assisted on the day as officials on checkpoints and accompanied the students on the team bus with an early start to the day.
