Special mention to the Year Group Team Trophy winners: Year 5 Girls, Year 5 Boys & Year 7 Girls - Awesome team work!!

It was a great day and fantastic to see the sportsmanship shown. Lots of cheering and supporting each other and between the Wakatipu schools. It's a tough course in Arrowtown with a decent hill and farm tracks to follow so all our Shotover runners should be very proud of themselves, for turning up and also for doing so well.

Many thanks to Jo Young for helping on the results table and Shayne Galloway at the finish line & for taking photos.

Here are the Top 10 results for the Wakatipu Cross Country. Students in the Top 10 go on to compete at the Central Otago Cross Country on Thursday 14th September in Cromwell. More information will follow for those students who qualified.
