Yesterday, 4 boys and 4 girls took part in the Catholic Cross Country Relay Competition at Bablake playing fields.
The girls were up first, we had Josie and Bridget from Year 3, Maisie from Year 4 and Martha from Year 6 representing our school. They all performed magnificently running around the mile long course finally finishing in a very respectable 8th position. This position was even more impressive considering we had most of our team from lower KS2 and they were running against Year 5 and 6 children – well done girls.
The boys were up next, this time it was Kai and Lorcan from Year 4 and Joshua and Ewan from Year 6 running. Having had a good team score in the individual race, hopes were high that the boys could get into a medal position. Ewan started the race and finished his lap in 4th place, this was maintained on the 2nd lap ran by Joshua. Kai ran the penultimate lap and managed to get the team into 3rd with a very impressive run. Finally Lorcan ran the last lap and as hard as he tried, although closing all the time on 2nd, finished his lap in 3rd and winning the team a bronze medal each. Superb effort from everyone – congratulations boys!
Good luck to all the girls running this Saturday in the Coventry Schools Cross Country, again at Bablake fields.
