Whangarei Regional Cross Country Champs
8th September 2005

Although schools from all around Whangarei compete, we really have an eye out on Whangarei Intermediate!! As they are the current holders of the WIS-KIS Challenge Shield we really wanted to beat them and regain the shield back (as we'd had it for the last year).

Well we massacred them in the Year 7 and Year 8 boys and just lost by the most miniscule of amounts in the Year 7 & 8 Girls. So unfortunately W.I.S have held on to the shield.
