Kilgraston’s annual cross country race took place albeit in a slightly different format this year due to COVID restrictions.

In stunning autumnal Scottish sunshine, Upper Third’s Ishbel stormed home to victory with Maia in Upper Third coming second and Lower Third’s Lilly coming in third.

Amidst blustery winds and cloudy skies, the Senior School cross country took place the following day with an impressive sprint finish seeing Lower Sixth’s Poppy crossing the finish line just in front of Upper Sixth’s Paula and Upper Sixth’s Abbie taking home third place.

The times then meant the overall cross country champion was Poppy with Paula coming second and Upper Fifth’s Lexie taking third place.

It is the first time the race has been split over two days as the entire School typically takes part together. However due to COVID, the School took measures to protect our pupils, with not only different race days but also staggered start times too.

The restrictions did not stop the cross country being its usual colourful and fun celebration with our pupils wearing their house colours, and a sea of red, green, purple and yellow spread around our beautiful countryside campus as the race took place.

Well done to all of our pupils who took part, and especially to our winners.

Here is our round-up of last year’s cross country event.
