Year 5 Mixed Cross Country Competition

On Tuesday 10^th February eight children from year 5 (Sam, Rob, Aaron, Tom, Arooj, Jayani, Chloe and Alina) represented Chilcote in a cross country (long distance) running competition. The event required the children to work in teams of four (4 boys and 4 girls) to complete six 400m laps.

Chilcote were up against five other schools at the event. The girls went first and ran really well. They were in fourth place when unfortunately one of the runners had to stop, which meant the girls finished the race behind the other schools. All of the girls did tremendously well and can be very proud of their efforts.

The boys ran afterwards and started well. They were in third position for much of the race. All of the boys ran their hardest and again can be proud of their efforts. They finished the race in fourth place only a couple of metres behind the third placed school.

All in all, Chilcote finished in 5th place in the event. Well done to all of the children involved!
