Lots of Olympic athletes in here! Well done all of you!
The 2008 Inter-Provincial Primary and Secondary Schools Cross-Country was held at Harcourt Park, Upper Hutt, on Thursday 25 September, in gorgeously sunny and calm conditions.
The event was contested by teams from Wellington, Canterbury, Tasman (Nelson & Marlborough), Wanganui, Horowhenua and Wairarapa/Bush.
Competition was for the “Phil Costley Shield” donated 4 years ago by one of New Zealand’s most prominent cross-country, distance and marathon champions.
The trophy was won by Wellington (off Canterbury) last year, and this year the two rival teams shared victory with each winning 4 teams races and coming second in the other 4. (Each Province is only allowed to score 1 team)
Tasman were 3rd and Wanganui 4th.
Next year’s event is to be held in Nelson.
