Cross Country


A Great Start

The Town Cross Country, held at Lyn nsport, is the first event of the school year and the top 10 qualify for the next round, West Norfolk Clusters also held at Lynnsport. The top 10 from that event go on to a
County event.

We took 17 boys and girls covering years 2 – 6, who ran over varying distances, 600m – 1600m. There were a lot of schools taking part which meant there were a lot of competitors in each race which was a little scary for some. Despite the overnight rain it was a still, sunny morning, ideal racing conditions.

Our children all ran extremely well, pacing themselves and sprinting, gaining places at the finish. It was a real head to head along the finishing straight between two of our boys. All the races were very competitive with 4 girls finishing in a top 10 place; Pip 5 th , Ellenie 10 th , Brogan 7 th and Ayla 10 th . Claudia ran a super race to finish 4 th in the year 2 race narrowly missing out on a medal, year 2s don’t run in the next round.

As always, they were all very supportive of each other throughout the morning as were the parents who attended. Thank you.

Well done; Pip, Isaac, William, Ellenie, Harriet, Maisie, Georgina, Cooper, Ollie, Arlo, Harrison, Brogan, Ayla, Claudia, Jamie, Rohan and Otto.
