On Saturday afternoon, the cross-country team met at Milton Keynes Rugby club ready to take part in the school cross country competition. We had runners taking place in the junior boys and girls and the senior boys and girls. All children had been training hard with weekly sessions at Bury Field and were ready to race with a mixture of nerves and excitement. They were a credit to Cedars and should be very proud of their achievements.
Some stand out individual performances came from Mya in Year 4 who received a silver medal along with Leah in Year 3 who received the bronze. Phoebe in Year 4 was the third scoring runner in the junior girls team and with such a low combined total of places they achieved a bronze medal in the overall junior girls competition -a first for Cedars! Grit and determination came in the junior boys race with two year 3 boys Caleb and Avery representing the school for the first time- they did not give up and ran brilliantly. In the senior girls’ race Sara finished in second place winning herself the silver medal and Erin, who had whizzed across from her football match ran brilliantly and finished 14th. The day was concluded with the senior boys race involving Charlie, Zak, Harvey, Lucas, Addison and Oliver. The support for one another during the race was fantastic to see, and all the boys ran a great race.
