SHPS Cross Country Results
Interschool Cross Country
South Hobart students have certainly done a fabulous job with their distance running in recent weeks.
We took a very competitive team to the SPSSA Division A held at Bay View College on the 3rd of June.
Our School came second overall behind Howrah Primary, which was a terrific result. Lenah Valley came in 3rd, with Lansdowne in 4th place.
Our Grade 3 Boys came 3rd in the teams event, from 20 schools.
The Grade 4 boys came 1st in the teams event with the Grade 4 girls coming 3rd overall.
The Grade 5 girls ran really well and they were 3rd overall.
A big thank you to everyone that came along on the day to help our team.
