7 March 2014
The weather this year for our annual Inter-House Cross-Country was unseasonably good which made for excellent conditions for both running and spectating. The event began with all of Pre-prep running in the Under 7 race over 500m. This was won by Max Dawson-Paul (Year 2) followed closely by Jack Jenkinson (Year 1).
The eagerly awaited Under 9 race ( 1525m) between William d’Arcy and Johnny James turned out to be the most outstanding race of the afternoon. William came in first closely followed by Johnny and then Joseph Torlage. William broke Henry Insley’s Year 4 record (2011) by 5 seconds while Joseph smashed Max Smith’s Year 3 record (2007) by a staggering 25 seconds. These runners are definitely ones to look out for in the future!
