The races saw many students come out on top, with Year 12 student Katelyn Eddy taking out the fastest time for the 3km race with a time of 13:05, and Year 10 student Sophie Eddy taking out the fastest time for the 2km race with 8:18.

“Well done to each and every student who complete the course; you displayed great determination and excellent sportsmanship,” Mathoura Public School principal Janice Eddy said.
