50th Wellington Schools Cross Country Relay Championships

This is the third time PNBHS has entered teams into this competition. With around 300 runners, consisting of all the top Wellington and Kapiti Schools, this event gives our runners top competition.

The race was held at Karori Park on a course of mixed terrain from flat to a technical ascend and descend with a total distance of 2km per lap. Each team had 6 runners, running a lap each. 

Our Senior team consisted of Samuel Phillips, Luke Scott, Jamie Dennis, William Leong, Robert Norman and Andre Le Pine Day. This is a very young team who will all return next year and to finish in 3rd place was a great result.

In the under 16 race the team of Liam Wall, Nelson Doolan, Luke Brown, Angus Wallace, Sam Parry and Aden Porritt were placed 2nd. This was a great result considering a number of these runners it was their first experience competing at this level.
