On Wednesday the 27th of June, 40 Casebrook students went to Halswell Quarry.

There were about 15 other schools participating, including Heaton, Breens, Christchurch South, Cobham, Hillmorton and Shirley.

We interviewed two of our top runners, Annabelle Sincock and Dylan Webb.

Annabelle placed 16th in the Year 8 girls race. She enjoys running but hasn’t been to zones before. Annabelle was both nervous and excited versing the primary kids on Wednesday 4th July. Annabelle had trained for the cross country but not a lot.
