Cross Country Race 3
Cross Country season
Tewkesbury Primary Schools' Sports Network's Cross Country Race 3 - The Vineyards - Thursday, 11th October 2018
We were very lucky yesterday to avoid the wet and windy weather, as the children participated in their final cross-country race of the Autumn season.
The course was marked out, the children were gathered and they were all excited and raring to go!
It was the girls' turn to run first and it wasn't long before the race began. All of the girls ran extremely well, competing strongly for their place at the finish. Charlotte Peirce stormed ahead and beat her last result by one position, coming in in 4th place. The next girl through the finish was Gracie Janes, coming 7th again, displaying incredible consistency this Autumn. Keira Hancox was the next Tirlebrook runner home, coming in 21st position - an excellent finishing result from one of our new runners from Year 4.
The boys' race followed and Silas Fox maintained his 100% record of winning each race so far this year, this time putting an even greater distance between him and the chasing pack. Ewan Gosden performed phenomenally and earned a third personal best in a row, finishing in 4th position - a quite remarkable achievement for a Y4. Aaron Lyon has also had an excellent season so far, finishing in a consistent 12th position - a finish that he most definitely should be proud of. There was also a terrific personal best for Finlay Whittard as he came over the line in a season's best 20th position and Jordan Tredwell recorded a 74th position finish in his very first race representing Tirlebrook.
All of the runners ran brilliantly again this week, despite having the Mop Fair visit Tewkesbury, which caused great excitement but late nights. It was wonderful to see so many of our runners cheering each other on and smiling with pride as they finished their final race before Christmas.
Well done to everybody who has been involved this season, including the children, parents and staff. It is a great community event that we are extremely proud to be a part of. The team is in an excellent position going into the new year and there is a very real possibility that our trophies and shields from last season can be defended. We cannot wait to see what happens when we return in the Spring.
Well done all!
