Intermediate team

Georgie Little - 7th

Tash Hoile - 16^th

Olivia Harding - 25^th

Scarlett Scotland - 26^th

Junior Team

Rebecca Chee - 1^st

Erin Bateman - 5^th

Emma Shilton -  26^th

Amy Gareze - 33^rd

Felicity Gratton - 34^th

The Intermediate team finished in 5^th place overall and the junior team finished in 3^rd place. The junior team will now go through to compete in the Regional Finals.

Congratulations to all the girls who ran but in particular to Rebecca Chee for another very impressive performance!
