This year, Sullivan had a really successful cross country season! There were four races this year, and if you went to at least one, you could go to the Fraser Valley High School Cross Country Championships. Each race is split into 3 age groups- grade 8, junior (grade 9&10), and senior (grade 11&12), and each race is a different length depending on your age group. We had six junior girls, one grade 8 girl, and one grade 8 boy go to Fraser Valleys, which took place on Wednesday, October 22 in Coquitlam. At the race, the grade 8 boys and girls ran 3.4 km, the junior girls and boys, and senior girls all ran 4.7 km (which is equivalent to about 12 laps around a 400 meter track), and the senior boys ran 6.3 km. Sullivan's junior girls' team finished second in the race, with an average time of 19:44.26, and the fastest runner's time being 18:48.38. The top four runners now qualify to go to the Provincial Championships, which will take place at West Shore Parks in Victoria on November 1st, 2014.
