The school was represented at the Otago champs by a team of nine students. The team had been training prior to the event for 6 weeks. Focusing on aerobic endurance and leg stamina. For training we did things like running up and down a set of stairs at the Outram Glen. The cross country was very big with about 100 in each race! The real cross contry track was about 2km for years 5/6 and the year 7/ 8's race was around 2.4 km . At the end of the event we had some great results like, Christie W 3rd in her year 5/6 race, Emily B 12th in the year 7 race and Myles V got 7th in the year7/8 race. After a big day Christie W came back to school to be greeted by words like "Well done", and "Great effort!". Last year Christie came 27!- Everyone says the training regime helped.
Cameron W also had a great race(25th year 8 boys) for missing 2 training sessions! in the end we all had a great day at the Cross Country and would like to thank the parent s that made the trip in to support the team.
