On Thursday 5 June, the Cross Country Team headed to Alderbury Reserve led by our Senior Captains, Madison Lill and Thomas Gough and our Junior Captains, Georgia Mammone and Zac Armstrong to compete at the ACC Cross Country Carnival. It was an extremely competitive event with 79 schools vying for success in races that had up to 400 competitors. With great determination and endeavour, the students tackled either a 3km Course (Years 7 & 8) or a 4km Course (Years 9-12). After a fantastic day of competition, Chisholm finished a very credible 8th place.
Our best individual runners, who achieved impressive ‘Top 50’ finishes on the day, are as follows:

These wonderful team and individual results are a true reflection of not only the student’s hard work and commitment to the Cross Country Programme, but also the dedication and support of our coaching team. Thank you to assistant coaches, Miss McLlheney, Miss Pember, Mr Hill and Mrs Nicolau, who gave their time to ensure our students were well prepared for the carnival, as well as Miss Anderson & Mr Butler who attended on race day. Many thanks also to Mr Heyes who coordinated our ever-popular Friday morning breakfasts and for overseeing the ACC Programme. We look forward to another fantastic Cross Country Programme in 2026!
