Cross Country

On the 25th May the whole school did cross country. Room6 boys sprinted off. I kept second for the whole two laps. On the last lap everyone was cheering. I was close to the line and then I finished second. Yay now to Tawa zone.

Cross-country

My favourite part was when I had to tell myself to go faster.
It was hard but I had to push myself to come fourth.

Cross-country

At cross country it was rough and fun even if I had an asthma attack. I had a good time at cross country because I like running around.

Cross Country 2011

I felt so great that it was over because the race was so exhausting that I could just fall right over onto my back. At the end of the race I was so relieved because I was puffing hard core.

By Cameron

Eyes on the Track

“Eyes on the track,” I say to myself as I run as fast as I can. “Come on Anton you can make it. RUN RUN RUN !” I came ninth and so I am a reserve for Tawa zone if someone gets sick.
Anton

My Brother is a fast runner but since he had a sore leg he came 14th but he did good.

I had an amazing and tiring time at Cross Country. The best part of it was running up the big hill and coming 1st.

Cross Country was hard for me, but I tried my hardest. I was proud of myself!

WOW THAT WAS AMAZING DAY BUT IT WAS BORING BECAUSE I CAME LAST IN THE CROSS COUNTRY THAT WAS A PRETTY HARD JOB FOR THE FAST AND SLOW PEOPLE SOME PEOPLE GOT TIRED AND SOME WERE SAD AFTER THE RACE! By Teah

The cross country was very hard we had to run up this hill twice. I felt like I was going to be sick! But I tried harder and pushed myself and made it to Tawa zone .

This year was the hardest cross country ever because of that slippery hill. It was so hard and I felt that I couldn’t go on, I couldn’t breathe but I just ran till the end.

By Robert

Cross Country

This year’s cross country was one of the hardest I have ever done on the treacherous hill and the seriously muddy field. It seemed easy but through the second lap, it became really hard and on the finish line, my hair was so frizzy and sweaty that it felt like I was shocked by a 2000-watt electric wire!

-By Johniel

Cross country was hard this year and I came 12th out of 15 year 6 girls. I tried my hardest and I am proud of myself. Everyone was cheering for me when I got over the finish line.

My favourite part of cross-country was hearing my results. I sprinted to the finish line to hear I came 8th. I was so amazed. All that training paid off!!!

Anya!!!
