Warwick Academy and Saltus Grammar both finished with 63 points with Warwick getting the nod in a tie-breaker. Berkeley finished two points further back in third.
Berkeley Institute’s Khari Sharieff led from the start and never saw another runner when winning the under-16 boys race in 11:34.
Somersfield Academy’s Jackson Langley came in twenty seconds later followed by Warwick Academy’s Jake Smith in third with a time of 12:16.
