Students race at P-12 cross country
Rainbow P-12 College students laced up their runners and hit the track for the annual Cross Country event on Thursday, 24 April, at the Rainbow Recreation Reserve.
The action-packed morning kicked off at 9am, with students proudly wearing their Hindmarsh or Albacutya house colours as they competed across a range of distances.
The 16-20 age group boys led the way, tackling a challenging 5-kilometre course, followed by the 16-20 year-old girls and the 11-15 age group competitors, who each completed a 3-kilometre run.
Younger students impressed the crowd with strong efforts over shorter distances, from 2 kilometres down to 400 metres for the 5-6-year-olds.
Families gathered at the reserve to cheer on the runners, creating a vibrant and supportive atmosphere.
Organisers presented medals at the end of all races, celebrating the achievements and determination shown by students across all age groups.
