Interschool Cross Country

On Friday of week 4, Renmark High School hosted the Riverland High Schools Cross Country Championships at Martins Bend in Berri. We were aiming to have the event at a location in Renmark but due to the recent floods it was difficult to find a space that could host both the Primary and High School students. I would like to thank the Renmark Paringa Council who assisted in the process and we look forward to having the event here in Renmark next year.

We were very fortunate to have beautiful weather on the day, given there were plenty of nerves regarding how the track would hold up with some heavy rain across the Riverland on the Thursday night.

Over 60 students travelled down to represent the school to achieve their personal best. Thanks again to those that supported the school and challenged themselves on the day. It was a successful day with plenty of great results with and the team winning 3 of the age group pennants (U14 girls, U15 boys sand U16 boys). Congratulations to Loxton High School who won the Championship Shield by 3 points over RHS. It was pleasing to see the pennants spread between the 4 schools.

Final Placings:

• 1^st Loxton High School – 33.5 points
• 2^nd Renmark High School – 29.5 points
• 3^rd Berri Regional Secondary College - 21 points
• 4^th Waikerie High School - 14 points

All the best to the students competing in Oakbank at the School Sport SA Championships on Thursday 8 June in week 6.
