Cross Country

Cross Country Tom

Now that Tom is in KS2, after-school activities get a bit more interesting.  This week he got a chance to compete in the Cross Country.  It was an inter-school event held at Ingleton (we have the largest fields of any local school).  Pupils had to be in the top 6 of their gender and year group to make the next round.  Plenty did get through, but Tom wasn't one of them.  Not because he wasn't fast enough, but because he isn't bullish enough to make his way to the front of a crowd.

He did really well, sprinted the whole course, but there were too many other boys in front of him - never mind, maybe next year - we will have to drill him on how to start in front!  However, he did contribute to his year group coming 1st - so well done him.  Finn, Lucas and Lexi got through to the next round - not bad considering there were 9 schools taking part.
