Thankfully the scorching weather conditions had passed for this week’s race, however a strong wind meant pupils were running into a headwind at certain points around the course.
The girls ran first with Lilli-Mae deciding to try a slower start. She ran extremely well again and fought all the way to the line to finish 5th - hopefully her great form will continue and she will be picked to represent the Tewkesbury District at the County Championships
In the boys race, Sam Graef set off at a blistering pace and held his position well to finish 9th. Towards the end of the race, Daniel Hill moved up through the pack to finish in an excellent 11th position (fantastic for a Y5). Not far behind were Jake Graef (19th) and Adam Packwood, again showing his steady progression in 21st.
There are two more races in the cross country series which are to be held after Christmas. In the meantime, Cross Country Club will be held on Thursdays after school. For those who wish to get even faster, I recommend some long distance running at the weekends.
Well done to all those who have taken part so far, I am proud of you all!
