As a school we were very proud to have 3 of our long-distance runners qualify for the 2025 SAPSASA State Cross Country Championships. These particular championships were held on Thursday 5^th June at the Oakbank Racing Club in the wintry Adelaide Hills. Olivia Sadler (4G), Will Keegan (5F) and Thomas McDonald (6W) all represented both our school and the Airport District with pride by executing their best efforts in challenging conditions.

Olivia competed in the U10 section and completed the race in 10^th place. Overall, the U10 Girls Airport District placed 2^nd at the Championships. Will competed in the U11 section and was credited with a 10^th place finish also. This effort assisted the U11 Boys Airport District to obtain 1^st place accolades at the Championship. Thomas competed in the U12 section which had 200+ runners and at the conclusion of the race he finished in the 76^th position. A huge effort when competing against so many runners.

Olivia and Will have both been placed on the reserve list for the SA State Team that travels to QLD in September to compete at a national level.  

We at St John the Baptist Catholic School are very proud of each of you. You have all shown high levels of commitment, enthusiasm and strength to gain such pleasing results. Not only have you represented yourselves, but you have represented our school in the best possible manner. Congratulations to each of you.
