10 Mana College students completed on Wednesday 5th August at the postponed Wellington Cross Country Champs in Upper Hutt. 

The students, all from the Te Whare Ako class, were excited to compete on a beautiful day for the race. All of the students completed the undulating 2km course in good spirits and were proud of finishing. 

Jemma and Melina Kessell finished in 2nd and 3rd place respectively in the girls AWD category, while Gabriel Johns finished in a close 4th place in the boys AWD category. 

In the team 3 person event, Mana College took out the first place in the girls AWD (Jemma and Melina Kessell, Nga Meh)! Well done to all the competitors.
