Today we went to the Cross Country Competition at The King George Arena with p4-7. We all got on the mini buses and when we got there we went to the places we where supposed to sit. Then we all got our numbers and we sat waiting for the other schools to arrive. Euan’s number was 249, Kaylan’s number was 181 and Georgia’s number was 180.
When all of the schools had arrived Mrs Byers announced the order of the races and then called up the p4-5 from the middle schools. Miss Dale was organising the p4-5 boys for the little school by taking them to the bathroom, but then Mrs Byers told Miss Dale that we were now ranked as a middle school because we had more than 50 people. Miss Dale had to tell the boys they didn’t have time to go because they were having to race so they ran to the starting line. After a while it was the p6-7 middle school race so everyone ran to line up. The race was really hard and we found it exhausting. After the race our legs felt like lead and everything hurt and we felt like giving up and we couldn’t breath and we were thirsty and tired and wanted to go back to bed, but we made it… except our insides were left behind in the middle of the field. So was our breath. So was our heart. After words we heard the scores, at fruit and had a strawberry lace. Georgia came 9th, Greg came 21st, Paul came 23rd, Ebony came 14th, Lewis came 24th, Euan came 22nd and Kaylan came 11th. A lot of people got medals. Isla, Georgia and Kaylan got a silver medal in the team. Charlie, Ethan and Jack got a bronze and Sonny, Hayden and Gavin got a bronze.
