2025 School Sport Australia All Schools Cross Country – Gold Coast.

The 2025 School Sport Australia All Schools Cross Country was held at Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast, where our New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Team delivered some outstanding performances.

In the tough 8km U20 race, Ruie Hyslop battled the heat and wind to finish 8th overall and 3rd Kiwi home, helping the NZ Schools team secure 2nd place overall—an excellent achievement, well done Ruie!

Day 2 saw athletes compete in the team relay, with the highlight being the U20 Boys team of Redd Scampion, Felix Field, Connor Kemp, Ruie Hyslop, and Caleb Wagener bringing home gold.

After three days of intense competition and excellent results, the team rounded out their campaign with some well-earned fun at MovieWorld.

Congratulations to all the athletes on an outstanding effort and for representing New Zealand with pride!
