Cross Country Fun Run and Presentation
Cross Country Season Finale
All of our eager and dedicated runners were extremely excited to participate in the Tewkesbury Primary Schools' Sports Network's Cross Country Fun Run as our cross country season came to an end. Dressed up in wigs, costumes and funny t-shirts, our team took to the start line ready to finish their season off in style! It was lovely to see some of our younger students getting involved too, including George from Oak Tree Class. As the race came to a mazy end, the children gathered in their school teams to hear the well-anticipated results of the season.
For the individual competition, trophies and medals were awarded to the top ten boys and top ten girls. Silas received the 1st place trophy for the boys, as he managed to finish in 1st position in every race this season apart from one because he was absent. This is a truly magnificent achievement. Ewan, one of our youngest runners, also received a trophy, finishing in 3rd position overall out of all of the boys - an astonishing feat. Aaron was awarded a medal as he came in 10th position overall out of all of the boys. The girls' results were also superb, with Charlotte and Gracie each receiving a medal for their fantastic achievements of finishing inside the top 10 girls overall.
In the team competition, Tirlebrook retained the overall Large Schools Team Shield by virtue of the boys team finishing in first position overall and the girls team finishing in second position. This is a wonderful achievement, especially to secure the shield for the second year in a row.
What a phenomenal season the children have had. Their hard work, effort and commitment to running have enabled them to not only achieve individually but also as a team. Congratulations to all of our runners and good luck to the ten children (that is a quarter of the places on the team!) who managed to secure a place representing Tewkesbury in the county cross country championships at the weekend. Our very best wishes go to Silas, Aaron, Ewan, Owen, Finlay, Charlotte, Gracie, Martha, Harriet and Keira.
Well done!
