Year 5 compete in Cambridgeshire Primary Schools Cross County Championships

Year 5 compete in Cambridgeshire Primary Schools Cross County Championships

On Thursday afternoon, Year 5 (and one Year 4 pupil), joined over 50 other schools across Cambridgeshire in the Cambridgeshire Primary Schools Cross County Championships held in St Neots.  St Mary’s Junior School ran 3 teams of 4 girls each in the relay-style event. 

This being our first Cross Country event, the girls performed much better than anticipated. Out of more than 90 teams for the girls race, our girls came in 19th, 36th, and 79th respectively. This was a great experience for St Mary’s Junior School, and one that Ms O’Connell and Mr Taylor hope to continue in the future as part of the Junior School running and athletics program. 

Well done runners!
