Chester School's Cross Country

We took 17 athletes to the second race in the Chester Schools Cross Country competition. There were some super performances where PBs are sure to be broken, some more medal success and also some bad luck with falls, injuries or illness. But whatever the result, we all had a brilliant Saturday morning in Ellesmere Port. 

In Year 3, Jessica had another fabulous race earning her second silver medal and Anna had a fantastic first race in the competition and narrowly missed out on a medal with a 4th place finish. Also in Year 3, Alfie ran a fine race in a large field and followed up his medal performance last time out with a 6th place finish. In

Year 4, Evelyn got her PB, but sadly Flo had a fall early in the race; Lana also ran stongly again and finished well. We had several boys missing but after finishing 5th last time out, Blake ran an inspired race and was tactically spot on and worked his way through the field to claim silver once again. Oscar finished brilliantly again and Ronnie and Stanley can be very proud of how well they ran so fingers crossed they get their PB. And even though Edward lost his shoe early in the race, he still managed to finish ahead of some of the other runners. 

In Year 5, Polly left her sprint finish late and finished 4th, with Sienna in 10th and Nancy close behind; April also ran well in her second race . Finally, our Year 6 girls finished strongly. Zara tracked the leader all the way around and there was a sprint finish for the line. It was silver again and Mollie was not far behind for a third place finish. 3 Silver medals and 1 Bronze medal.
