St Mary's School Cross Country Carnival: Racing Towards Success!
What a glorious day it was at the Crookwell Showground as the sun beamed down upon us, blessing our Cross Country Carnival with its radiant glow! St Mary's School was filled with excitement and anticipation as our talented athletes laced up their running shoes and took on the challenge of the great outdoors.
In an epic showdown of speed and stamina, Aloysius House emerged as the triumphant victors, leaving a trail of determination in their wake. A round of applause to Lawrence House for their outstanding efforts - you ran your hearts out!
But let's not forget the true stars of the day – our incredible runners! Each step they took was a testament to their resilience and strength, proving that cross country is not just about physical endurance but also mental fortitude. Remember, in the words of a wise runner, "You don't stop when you're tired; you stop when the race is done... or when there's pizza at the finish line!"
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated teachers for their unwavering support and encouragement throughout the carnival. Your guidance and enthusiasm truly helped our students run to new heights.
We are ready to cheer on our champions who will be representing St Mary's at the NR Cross Country Carnival! Lace up those shoes, and show them what you're made of!
As we wrap up this fantastic day of running, let's remember: "Life is a race, and sometimes you have to pace yourself, but always keep your eye on the prize!"
Here is to more sunny days, endless miles, and victories ahead!
