The C Division Girls won the National Inter-School Cross Country Championships. They dominated the race with 5 girls in the individual top 10


B Division Girls did well too. Runners-up and 4 individual Top 20.

Think this is RV's first National Championship for a long long time, 17 years according to my child. The girls were given RV Sports Excellence Scholarship after they won the Championship.

Congrats!!! :celebrate:

Rosecy, your girl participated?

No. She in another sport. On hindsight, should have let her join Cross Country as she was shortlisted. From my observations, the Cross Country runners are probably the most disciplined and focussed athletes in the school. You will get what I mean if you have time to see them train while waiting to fetch your dd.

Think they really deserve the Championships for their hardwork and dedication!!!!!

I heard RV has some plan to boost sports. Very positive development.

rosecy, thanks for the link. Saw dd's classmate in one of the photo. Heard from dd, these cross country ppl are super fast when she saw them practising. She has classmates not in cross country, can run 2.4km in 9 mins or less. She was so :!: :shock: because people like us are two digit with two decimal points timing. Hahaha !!!!

i doubt there are girls who can run 9 min or less. if there are i am sure they are already in the team. my child's classmate mentioned that the 6 year 2 girls are among the 10 fastest girls in whole of rv. she so lucky to made it to the team as a year 1. got herself a national gold medal too. my child envy so much.
