We've been training whenever the rain has allowed us over this term, and I have to admit, there haven't always been happy, enthusiastic faces when I've announced, "Let's go out for cross country." Today, however, the effort and commitment was fantastic - helped by a gloriously sunny afternoon and the cheering of the crowd.
The boys race was a close finish with Luke hot on Mylo's heels. Mylo crossed the line first knocking an amazing 43 seconds off his personal best finishing in 6 min and 34 secs. Luke crossed the line just a second or two later knocking 51 seconds off his personal best. Cooper, Max and Ethan all crossed the line in the top 10 boys.
Jade was our top finishing girl managing to wipe 2 minutes off her time from last week to finish in exactly 8 minutes. Siane, Mollie, Mackenzie S, Skye and Grete were all not too far behind.
Thank you to all the parents, and grandparents, who came to cheer on the competitors, and special mention to Paul, Ben and Christian for taking part in the parents race, your encouragement means a lot on race day and we love to see you here supporting our efforts.
