Hills Cross Country

On Tuesday 6 August the Hills Cross Country was held at Bishops Court. Despite the cold weather prior to Tuesday, the sun shone and the conditions were good for racing.

We were really impressed with the determination and sportsmanship from all our competitors. You all represented Kaikorai with pride and should be incredibly proud.

A special mention must go to Henry Hodgson, Luke Milburn, Sam Goodchild, Race Porter, Isabelle Fahey, Holly Donaldson, Charlotte Watkins, Rhys Beattie, Hunter Hathaway, Toby Ollerenshaw and Oliver Devereux who all placed within the top 10 of their age group and have been selected to compete at the Otago Champs on Friday 30 August. Jen Hodgson has kindly offered to take these children for training runs some lunchtimes in the lead up to the Otago Champs. Further information will be sent out in the coming week. We wish them all the best.

A big congratulations also goes to Archie Rhodes, William Collie, Archie Gordon, Victor Rivollet and Julia Hodgson who also placed within the top 10 in the Year 4 age group. Unfortunately, Year 4 students do not compete at the Otago Champs but we look forward to hopefully seeing them qualify next year as Year 5’s.
