APS Cross Country Carnival

APS Cross Country 2025 will be one to be remembered. There were some last minute course changes, shortened races and a whole lot of mud! 

The day started with our 10-12 year old students battling it out with water crossings, mud, sand and hills. Special mention to our Age Champions at this event:

  • Luke Benson 1st Place: 11 year boys
  • Lilyana Ozoux 1st Place: 11 year girls
  • Summer Mitchell 3rd Place: 12 year girls

    The following age groups also did well collectively:

    • 12 year Girls: Equal 2nd place
    • 11 year Girls: 3rd place

    In the Secondary School carnival, with a worsening track, A.B. achieved some more outstanding results with hard fought races. Highlights of this carnival were:

    • Hayden Ozoux 1st place: 15 year boys
    • Bennett Longhurst 2nd place: 14 year boys
    • Tobyn O'Hara 2nd place: 16 year Boys

    Congratulations to Imogen Ozoux (6th place in 13 year Girls), Olly Mclaughlan (6th place in 15 year Boys) and Mickele Summersfield (6th place in Open Boys) who have also qualified for the Regional Carnival in June.

    Age groups that were recognised for their collective performances were:

    • 15 year Boys: 2nd Place
    • 16 year Boys: 3rd Place

    While the overall results of the day did not go our way or reflect the efforts that all students had put in leading up to the APS Carnival, the dedication, sportsmanship, and resilience shown by everyone made the event a memorable and rewarding experience for all involved.

    Huge thank you to Steve Jackson for his efforts with the students leading up to this carnival and to all of the parents for getting their feet muddy to support our Brumbies.

    We wish Luke, Lilyana, Summer, Bennett, Imogen, Hayden, Tobyn and Mickele all the best as the prepare for the Regional Carnival on the 3rd of June.
