Cross-country relays - ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½

ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½

This year’s U13 Cross-country relays were held at Ardingly College on a lovely dry and crisp day. The event consisted of two races, a boy’s race, and a girl’s race. ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ fronted six students for this event, three from Year 7 and three from Year 8 for each race.

This event differs from the usual cross-country events as they were relays. Each runner completes a lap and then tags the next runner until all six have completed a lap. The event started with the girls, which turned into a ‘cat and mouse’ race between ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½, Ardingly, and Windlesham, as the ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ girls eventually took third place. The boys’ event followed, and ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ spent most of the time in the middle of the pack, finishing in eighth place out of 14 schools.

Overall, ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ took fifth place, as the result of a great team effort from all involved.
