New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships

Congratulations to our four amazing learners who represented Rolleston College with pride at the NZSS cross country event in Whangārei on 14–15 June.

Elodie Wightman was an impressive fifth in the year 9 girls' 3km race, and joined the Canterbury year 9 girls' team on Sunday for a win in the relay!

Luke Angland placed 16th, and Jarrod Harris was 30th in a huge junior boys' field for the 4km. They were both part of the Canterbury junior boys' relay who finished fourth.

Ciaran Harris was 61st in the highly competitive senior boys' event.

Congratulations to these runners!
