CROSS-COUNTRY:
ISEA Cross Country Running Champions!
On Tuesday, October 19, our Tigers participated in the ISEA Championships. There were 13 ISABC schools, and 746 athletes, from across the Lower Mainland competing in this annual multi-grade championship meet.
During the meet, there are actually 10 separate races as runners compete within their grade level and gender. Their results are combined to make a grade-level score. Each Tiger ran their very best, and York House was able to finish in the top three of each grade level. The Tigers finished:
- 3rd in Grade 3
- 1st in Grade 4
- 3rd in Grade 5
- 3rd in Grade 6
- 1st in Grade 7
Grade level scores are then added together and go towards the overall Championship. As you can tell by our grade level scores, we were doing very well. Very well, indeed! In third place, with 247 points was Crofton House. In second place, with 234 points was WPGA. And… In first place, with 226 points…the YORK HOUSE TIGERS!!!
Congratulations and thank you to our Grade 7s who have now finished their final year of Cross-Country in the Junior School. Well Done to Lily, Jaime, Chloe, Samar, Ryan, Savannah, and Jane.
Finally, we would also like to acknowledge the amazing coaching staff who kept our team of 80 athletes organized and motivated. Thank you to all of our Coaches: Ms. Young, Ms, Sharpe, Ms. Ling, Ms. Abbott, Ms. Krahn, Mme Simsilevich, Ms. McCallister, Ms. Ryerson, Ms. Pearkes, and Ms. Waterhouse.
