It was great to get the event completed after a delay of a couple of terms.
The boys turned out in good numbers in most of the races. Points were available for taking part, and finishing in the top 20 in each of the five year group races.
The staff were fully engaged timing and recording results or stationed around the course as Marshalls.
Park House had the most entries overall with 132 and Saxton were supreme in the Gumboot throw with 4 wins in the 5 events.
As the races took place it was clear that Park House runners seemed to be gaining more top 20 placings than the other Houses. Winning runners in each year group (House).
