Cross Country Runners excel

Well done to our team of 16 runners who took on the best in Canterbury/West Coast at Halswell Quarry yesterday. There were over 1200 runners competing yesterday in a fields of 120-180 in the biggest Cross Country event in New Zealand. We had an amazing six runners make the top 10 in their races but all of our team did exceptionally well.

Nicolas Rechkunov (see photo below) was a close 2nd in the Year 5 Boys’ field of 120 and Gwilym Jones was second in a field of 180 Year 7 Boys. Abby Graham and Silas Jones were close 4ths in fields of 180 in the Year 7 Girls’ and Year 8 Boys’ and both were coughing and sick the night before! Vadim Pulin was only 8 seconds adrift of Nicolas to take 7th in the Year 5 Boys and Lucy Blockley made her way through the Year 6 Girls’ field of 120 to gain 9th with Ruby Dowall running a super race also to gain 19th.

A big thanks to Emily Smith and Rory Jones for helping with transport and looking after the team.

Most of the team will be keen to participate in the Inter-Regional Cross Country in Timaru on 30 September.

Cycling Success

We have a group of five keen cyclists competing in the Canterbury Schools’ Cycling on Wednesday afternoons at Tai Tapu. Parent Rory Jones rides out to Tai Tapu with them (12km) and back after their races.

It is a great learning time for them all. The first week they had a time trial and after that they were all put into different grades for scratch races over 8km or 12km and will also have team races, hill climbs and other different races.

Last week we had some success also with Silas Jones winning the Boys C Grade race and Tessa Davis taking 3rd in the Girls C Grade race. Well done Team Hillview!

Thanks to Allison Cook and Heidi Wood for the photos below – Sam Cook leading Reid Allison in the Boys G Grade and Tessa Davis in the Girls C Grade.

Secondary Schools’ Cross Country

It was great to have nine students compete in the Canterbury Secondary Schools’ Cross with 300 others on Thursday at Ascot Park at QEII. For the first time ever we had an Under 16 Boys’ team and they took 4th place in the teams’ event – well done boys. Thanks to Paul Davis and Heidi Wood for taking the team.

Year 9 Reid Allison took the top place with a 24th in the Year 9 boys’ race and Toby Meecham was our top U16 Boy in 27th and our fastest time of the day of 13.13 for a tough 3km of san dunes, a little mud and a couple of hurdles.

We do thanks God for the commitment of the students to train and work together to achieve their goals.
