Cross Country Tigers off to Melbourne

On the 29th of August 2015 Ginninderra's best Cross Country runners will take on the rest of Australia at the School Sport Australia National Cross Country Championships in Melbourne.

Hannah Cadden, Andrew McFarlane, Layla Rowntree and Rebecca Jarvis also return to give it their all at the Moonee Valley Racecourse venue. They all performed exceptionally well in 2014 with some really strong performances.
