The 2022 Cross Country season was very positive, enjoyable and encouraging (with a steely eye to 2023).

Within both the AIC and QGSSSA teams, the younger age groups performed very strongly as Age Group Teams. The Boys 12 Years and 13 Years teams both placed 2nd in their age group with three runners each placed in the top 10. In another display of great team running, the Girls 13 Years team placed 2nd in their age group with all five point scoring runners placed in the top 20.

Highlights of the QGSSSA Cross Country also included the stellar efforts by St Peters runners Charlotte W (Girls 12 Years) and Sienna B (Girls 13 Years) who both won their debut races. An outstanding achievement by both girls!

Congratulations also to Addison S and Ava K who placed 3rd in the Boys 13 Years and Girls 13 Years, respectively.
