Otamatea High School 2020 Cross Country
By Tina Holst
Thursday 24th June brought fantastic cross country weather with plenty of rain over the past couple of days and a cloudy wet day for the race. The ground conditions were perfect for a wet and muddy race. The outstanding results for the day go to
Sub Junior Calvin Mikaere who matched Dean Sheppard’s 2019 record of 14 minutes and 16 seconds.

Thank you to the Otamatea High School staff who went above and beyond to help set up/run the morning and tidy up afterwards.
