The Champion Cross Country Skiing Secondary Girls School

On Sunday 6 August, 33 of our students ranging from Years 3 – 12 competed at the Victorian Interschools Cross Country Ski Championships at Mt Buller – something we had been training for since March. We achieved the most incredible results!

Starting with Division 1 (Years 11 and 12); Laura finished 3rd individually and then Millie finished 5th. Laura, Millie and Maeve took home a Silver in the team event. In the relay event, Laura, Millie and Cindy finished in 2nd place. Then we had a clean sweep in Division 2 (Years 9 and 10). Fiona won Gold, followed very closely by Connie taking home the Silver and along with Kate, this team took home 1st place in the team event. Years 9 and 10 finished off the triple win with Fiona, Connie and Steph winning the relay event.

Our emerging superstars in Years 7 and 8 did us proud as well in Division 3. They were all so incredible and special mention goes to Rachel C for finishing 10th in the classic individual race. Then, Kenna, Bethan and Rachel won Bronze in the skate relay event. We were also supported by 10 very talented and strong Junior School students.

Our dream was to bring home the cup for the overall Champion Cross Country Skiing Girls' School. We did it! That’s right, we are the best secondary girls' school in Victoria! Something that we have achieved seven times since 2010 - but haven’t won since 2015.

Our incredible results could not have happened without the expertise and guidance of our four wonderful coaches, and of course, I would also like to acknowledge the support from all of our families as well.
