26 children from Year 3 to Year 6 ran in the cross country championships. There were 46 schools represented and over 1140 children in total running. It was held on Canterbury University sports fields. Over 90% of Spring Grove children finished in the top half of their races. All 26 children were able to run the distance! The Year 3 and 4 children ran 800m and the Year 5 and 6 ran 1600m.

Every child ran superbly showing guts and determination.
