Jacob Priddey Second In Australian Cross Country Championships

In what is already a superb year of results, HBHS's Jacob Priddey (pictured in action) has just placed 2nd in the Australian Cross Country Championships last weekend. Jacob was a member of the New Zealand secondary schools team, and as a 16 year old running in the Under 18 event, came in only 19 seconds behind the winning runner from New South Wales. Jacob's next goal is to prepare for the New Zealand secondary schools nationals in December this year on the track, where he will race in the 1500m and 5000m with a view to qualifying for the World Championships.
