It was a lovely sunny afternoon and we were all looking forward to running.  Lots of our parents came to support us.

We had been training at Weald Park for the previous 3 Sunday afternoons, so we were familiar with the course, and this made us feel confident.

 

The girls were the first to race.  There were 21 teams (about 130 runners) in this race.  Everyone ran well, especially Freya Mason, who was our youngest runner, and who did well to make the team as she is only in Form 3.

 

The first 4 girls back were:

• Abigail Everett in 40^th place

• Madeleine Smith in 41^st place

• Charlotte Clews in 51^st place and

• Megan Salter in 53^rd place

This ‘A’ team achieved 12^th place overall and the ‘B’ team achieved 17^th place.

Next was the boys race.  Again there were 21 teams (about 130 runners).  The boys also ran very well.

 

The first 4 boys back were:

• James Percival in 25^th place

• Callum Sackett in 30^th place

• Alexander Hoeffler in 33^rd place and

• Jack Salter in 37^th place

These excellent positions put the ‘A’ team in 9^th place overall and the ‘B’ team in 18^th place.

 

This is another set of very pleasing results, and I was very proud of all those who took part in this event.  It was a very enjoyable afternoon.
