Wallace Hall Cross Country Championships

The annual Wallace Hall Academy Cross Country Championship took place on Thursday 6th February. Competition was fierce and there was a healthy entry of both girls and boys in all of the sections. After a wet morning, the day brightened up in time for the start of the races at 2.30pm.

S1 Girls’ Champion – Ellie Dickson

S1 Boys’ Champion – Andrew Hastings and Sebastian Young

S2 Girls’ Champion – Priya Rome

S2 Boys’ Champion – Lenny Costa

S3 Girls’ Champion – Tilly Wilson Machin

The first four runners home in each section have qualified for the Regional Championships which will take place on Thursday 14th February at Douglas Ewart, Newton Stewart. Mr Dillon, DHT at Wallace Hall, presented the trophies and commented: “As always, I was delighted with the standard of the competition with all students who participated trying their hardest to better their own personal best. This long-running competition at Wallace Hall never fails to demonstrate the high level of talent in our school.”
