Our final race of the season saw our cross country team travel to Burghley Park. A team of U9 and U11 Girls and Boys took to the start line with a large field of runners from a range of schools. There were 407 competitors across the four races. We were pleased to achieve 2nd place in the U11 Boys team competition and 3rd place in U9 Girls team competition! A fantastic final result given the field of school in attendance. You can view full results by clicking the links below.
The U9’s completed a 1.4km course which included a long incline before a downhill finish. Every competitor worked hard to ensure they left nothing in the tank. Top performances came from our Captains, Valentina who finished in an incredible 3rd place and George P who finished top 10. The U9 Girls secured 3rd team place with Georgia N, Lucy F and Ottilie Mc contributing to this score.
The U11’s faced a tough 2km course with a more substantial incline! This did not phase them and they battled hard amongst a large field of competitors. Both the girls and boys teams have performed consistently well over the season and it has been such a joy to watch them supporting one another whilst also competing against one another. Top performances came from Hollie F who had a super run achieving 5th place and Beau who achieved 4th. These were very competitive races so to finish right up there with the lead pack was impressive. Harriet followed closely after (9th), with Cecily and Bella neck to neck coming in 17th and 18th. This gave them 4th place overall in the team competition. In the boys race our other three counters included Vinnie (10th), Edward R (15th) and Gio (16th). A great team effort by the U11 boys securing 2nd place position behind the hosts, Stamford. A very creditable result when you compare cohort size!
It has been a real pleasure supporting all the runners in our team over what has been a very successful season. They have represented themselves and the school extremely well. Well done to each and everyone of you and thank you for making it so much fun!
