Suffolk Cross Country Trials
On Thursday 13 October the Woodbridge School Cross Country Team competed at the first round of the Suffolk Schools Cross Country Trials hosted by RHS.
An exceptional team performance with 6 medals, 10 top 10 positions and 29 qualifying by right to compete in round two at Culford on Saturday 3rd December.
With no seniors we only competed in 6 of the 8 races, and in 5 of the 6, Woodbridge School finished in the top three teams. Inter girls only had three runners and therefore an incomplete team.
Individual results were as follows:
Medalists:
Gold – Amy Graham – Inter Girls
Gold – Nathan Goddard – Inter Boys
Silver – Amy Goddard – Minor Girls
Silver – Henry Dinwiddy – Minor Boys
Silver – Charlie Turner – Junior Boys

Four of the 6 above will be racing in the same age group next year!
Other top 10 finishers:
4th – Kit Evans Lombe – Junior Boys
8th – Edward Rufford – Minor Boys
