NHSSA Inter-High Cross Country Carnival
On Friday, 24th May, a team of 38 students represented Riverside High School at the NHSSA Inter-High Cross Country Carnival held at Kings Meadows High School.
Tough conditions greeted the students, with a cold southerly breeze and overnight rain making the course challenging. With four runners in each race and points for the first three across the line, the carnival is a team event where striving to finish as high as possible in each event has an effect on the overall shield results. There were many outstanding individual performances across all four grades, with our girls winning 3 of the 4 races. It was inspiring to witness all our students giving their absolute best when representing themselves and the school. Our students’ efforts were aligned with our school values, in particular the courage they showed to push through when hurting and challenged by their competitors and the conditions.
Although Riverside High School were unable to maintain our longstanding record of winning the shield, the efforts of all our students who attended could not be faulted and we should all be proud of how they represented the school.
Listed below are the finals standings, team results, and Riverside High School placings for the day.
