Interschool Cross Country Champions

After a successful day at the RHS Cross Country event, a team was selected to represent RHS in the Interschool Cross Country at Martin's Bend on Wednesday the 22^nd of May. The team was looking strong with each of the students selected being proud and excited to represent the high school. This has been a very positive to see throughout 2019 and as a school, we hope it continues.

It was a perfect sunny day in Berri with many students starting to feel the pressure but walking the track helped to relieve the tension.Throughout the day there were many individual performances that stood out but ultimately the most pleasing was the willingness from students to do their best.

Each member contributed to the results and ultimately ensured that Renmark High School were the Riverland High School Cross Country CHAMPIONS for 2019. This was historic for RHS as we had won two (swimming and cross country) out of the three Riverland High School sporting events for 2019. To see the joy and relief when our name was called out during presentation, highlighted what it meant for the students and that all the hard work and commitment was worth it.

Along with the APEX Championship Shield, we won 4 of the possible 8 Age Group Pennants, including the U14 Boys, U14 Girls, U16 Boys and the U20 Girls.

Standout individual results:

U14 Boys	U15 Boys	U16 Boys	U20 Boys
1^st Bailey White	3^rd Jordan White	1^st Dylan White	5^th Seth Munro
2^nd Mason Goodman	4^th Tyler Stevens	2^nd Aidan Prokopec	6^th Jaydyn Mason
4^th Jordan Gadaleta		4^th Declan Johnson

U14 Girls	U15 Girls	U16 Girls	U20 Girls
1^st Isabella Cant	2^nd Matilda Rothe	2^nd Haylee Poulish	1^st Christie Webb
3^rd Madelyn Long	5^th Georgia Kennedy	5^th Charlee Webb	3^rd Tayla James
4^th Mijanou Newman		6^th Jordan Bond	8^th Kasey Bonner

A special mention to Bailey White who broke the U13 Boys 3km record set by Dylan White a few years back (with a time of 10:01.95). Bailey then decided to go for a warm down jog, running in the U20 Boys event where he finished 2^nd (unfortunately it didn’t go towards our points).

Once again, athletes and supporters alike contributed to our success and should be very proud of our continued success. The willingness to do their part for the team was highlighted with everyone committed to their event - with students Tyler Stevens, Georgia Kennedy, Kalyn Ratcliffe and Kierra Schumann all competing in an age group above (running in the U15’s instead of the U14’s) to strengthen the team.

Congratulations and well done to everyone involved in this historic day for RHS. Hold your heads high and always remember that you played a part in securing the 2019 Riverland High School Cross Country Shield.
