Box Hill athletes shine in Queensland

August 27, 2018

Box Hill runners performed strongly at the national cross country championships on the Sunshine Coast in August, filling four of the top 20 places in the open men’s race.

On the tough, hilly Maleny golf course, Will Potter put in an outstanding performance to finish 8^th, just ahead of Andre Waring (12^th) and Nick Baggott (14^th). Harry Summers led bravely early in the race but faded to finish 19^th. Evergreen John Meagher also ran well to finish in 31^st place.

In the junior events, Tom Sellwood finished 10^th, Sam Rattray 21^st and Finn Macken 55^th in the U20s, Josh McLeod was 9^th and Kieren Hesse 49^th in the U18s, Doug Buckeridge 9^th, Jack Armstrong 25^th and Thomas Diamond 53^rd in the U16s and Izak Bibile finished 37^th in the U14 event.

Congratulations to all these runners.
