ACT School Sport Cross Country Championships

Last Friday, 40 Radford students from Years 2-12 took to the various tracks of Stromlo Forest Park for the 2025 ACT School Sport Cross Country Championships. While the day started brisk, a touch of winter sunshine made for ideal running conditions - and our students delivered in a big way!

Following their top results at the ASC Carnival, Astrid stormed home to take 1st place in the 17 Years girls race, while Kaiya claimed a brilliant 2nd place in the 16 Years category. These back-to-back podium finishes highlight their consistency, endurance and class. Congratulations, girls!

A massive shoutout also goes to our other podium performers:

  • Emerson - 1st place - 13 Years
  • Owen - 2nd place - Opens
  • Patrick - 3rd place - 13 Years
  • Shannon - 3rd place - 14 Years
  • Matthew - 3rd place - 16 Years

From our youngest competitors in the 12&U championships, who gave it their all, to our 13&O athletes, who consistently placed in the top 10 of their age groups - this was a day of exceptional performances across the board.

To every student who represented Radford: congratulations on your efforts and results.
