We were well represented at the Leeds School Sport Association’s first Cross Country meet of the year at Woodhouse Grove. Over 20 students from all ages took on a challenging course.
We hosted a Leeds School Sport Association Cross Country meet in November, with visitors from primary and secondary schools across the city. Students from a range of extra-curricular activities sold refreshments to raise money to buy updated sports equipment and Duke of Edinburgh kit.
In December, our cross-country team travelled to Prince Henry Grammar School where one year 7 pupil finished in fourth place, qualifying to run for West Yorkshire. All students performed incredibly well at the race. We have consistently had over 20+ students attending races on a Saturday morning from 10am supporting and cheering each other on which is fantastic.
In January, our cross-country team travelled to Middleton Park for the season finale of the Leeds School Sport Association Cross Country competition. The team have performed consistently all season, with over 20 students turning out on Saturday mornings to represent Cardinal Heenan. One year 7 student has also represented West Yorkshire having qualified earlier in the season. Cross country club continues to be popular after school and a larger group of staff and students can often be found running around the local area on Thursday afternoons.
