Events

Cross country

The cross country was fun but for some people it was a killer. My friends and I walked it. Layne Green won. At the start everyone began well but after a while you were puffed.

Richard Dalzell R11

I was amongst the fifty girls running the cross country. I ran to Victoria park without stopping then that slowed me down for the next kilometre. It was a really long run that seemed to go on forever. I managed to pass quite a few Y8 boys and a lot of Y7 boys passed me. By Dixon Park my legs were like jelly.
