School students from as far as Cooktown and Croydon travelled to the Avenue of Honour to compete, with a total of three records broken throughout the day.

Charlie Wilson of St Joseph’s School Atherton broke the 11 years girl record with a time of 11:47:12 for the 3km course whilst Ash Maye of St Thomas’ Mareeba broke the 11 boys record with a time of 11:43:81 for the 3km course.

Malanda State High School’s athletic champion Erika Koleman smashed the 16 years girl record with a time of 15:33:81 for the 4km course.

This year, the inaugural Athletes with Disabili-ties Races (AWD) were implemented in the event, allowing students with disabilities to compete.

This event organised by Nicole Turner and Duncan MacGregor from Atherton State High School allowed students who wouldn’t normally be able to compete to do so.

Students who placed in the top 8 have been selected for the 2023 Tablelands 10 to 19 years Boys and Girls Cross Country Team that will participate at the Peninsula Cross Country Championships being held on Tuesday 16 May at the Avenue of Honour in Yungaburra.
