This annual race was held at Ashbury Park on Thursday 27 May in cold, but fine conditions with field sizes of around 30 in each of the races.
TBHS had team success in all three age groups where our top 3 runners' place scores proved that they were the dominant cross country boys' school.
In the Year 9 Race, Johnson Cleland led from start to finish to claim the individual title over the challenging 3000m course. Ryan Bell came through the field for 5th and with Jonty Porter in 6th place they were comfortable winners. McArthur Alexander 10th, Jack Parry 11th, Dylan Scarlett 12th, Nashoba Mehlhopt 13th, Lachlan Crawford 16th and Ashton Wright 17th completed a very dominant performance for the school.
In the Under 16 Event over 4000m Payo O’Sullivan ran an excellent race for a strong 2nd place overall. The teams competition was very close but Daniel Poulter (9th) and Kenta Sato-Allen (10th) were far enough up the field to win this teams race.
The Senior Boys ran a gruelling 6000m around Ashbury Park and with Josh Young (4th), Malachy Cleland (6th) and Tom Allan (8th) we completed the clean sweep in the 3 person teams races. Also with strong performances were Will Hutchison in 9th, Charlie Clemens 11th and William Talbot 13th.
