The 2025 Inter-House Cross Country event was certainly one for those who favour a ‘hard ground’ track, given the early spring sunshine.
The 4.5km route wasn’t quite the quagmire of years gone by. The whole school race format allowed for House points to be scored from a range of abilities, with Blackford gaining a maximum 100 participation points in the Junior category thanks to all their runners finishing within the allotted time limit. As for the individual categories: the senior boys’ event was won convincingly by the school cross-country captain, Sam H; a notable finisher in the juniors category, Archie G, won the junior boys category, and would have placed in the top three of seniors with his swift time. Matilda G won the senior girls event at a canter while Agathe B romped home to take the junior girls’ prize. Well done to all who participated.
