"if you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run"

Cross Country

Eastbourne College > Sport > Cross Country

Cross Country is a growing element of the sports programme at Eastbourne College, and one at which we increasingly excel.

It is offered as a full-time sports choice for all Year 11s and above in Michaelmas and Lent terms, and can be negotiated for younger students.

The emphasis is on enjoyment for those who simply wish to improve their fitness, and excellence for those who wish to compete, with a full season of races.

Biathlon and triathlon are managed as part of our cross country department.

Congratulations to our two out-going captains, Chris Dodd and Annie Shepherd, respectively awarded the Victor Ludorum and Victrix Ludorum following outstanding performances at last week's College Sports. Chris won the 400m, 1500m and 3000m, narrowly missing his own school record in the 1500m! Annie won the 800m, 1500m and 3000m, setting a school record in the 3000m!

Fellow cross-country runners Camilla Freeman, Chloe Cook and Sophie Tomkinson also set school records during the week of athletics that rounded off the Lent Term.

Once again, congratulations and thanks to Chris and Annie for all that they have done in leading the cross-country teams this year, and welcome to Ed Hickman-Casey who has been nominated as joint boys' and girls' cross-country captian for next year.
