On Wednesday the 11th of March, St Luke’s cross country team of 42 pupils and 7 sports Leaders who were marshals, accompanied Miss Hollerin, Mr McCabe, Jim and Jack Docherty to Rouken Glen for the East Renfrewshire annual schools cross country championships.

All pupils were high spirited and excited about competing against some of East Renfrewshire’s finest runners. The weather, glorious to begin with, soon deteriorated, this however didn’t hamper the spirits of all pupils involved, who showed immense resolve over a challenging course.

Stand out performances were from the third year girls team who came in fourth out of seven entered schools, credit to Lara Wilkie, Jennifer Campbell, Sophie McKeown, Therese Kearins, Selina Gurley and Alyssa Greally.

Individual performances from top runners were Lara Wilkie who positioned 9th out of  S3 girls , Joseph O’Hara who also positioned 9th for S3 boys, with an excellent debut by Dominic Reilly who finished 11th in the S1 boys category.

 

All pupils were exemplarily and credit to St Luke’s high school and the staff.  Superb Effort!!!! 🙂
