Well done George!
We are very proud of George! 
George was the first student in our school to receive a gold medal for his cross country training. To get a gold medal he reached milestones of Copper 1, Copper 2, Bronze and Silver with his training. George ran all the way around the South Island, starting at Clinton and getting back to Clinton in approximately five weeks. He ran 5 or 6 laps of the block every day with one lap being 720 metres. This means he has run a total of 37.4km because there were 52 dashes to get back to Clinton on the map of the South Island, with one dash meaning one lap of the block had been run.
Well done George, this is an amazing achievement and to be the first person in our school to do this makes it even more special! He is now onto Platinum award aims, with beginning to run around the North Island! 


Way to go George!
