Cross Country 2010

This year’s competition was one of the best we have had at the school with almost a thousand pupils taking part in all 6 races on the lower school site. The pupils were fantastic showing great effort and determination to complete the course and many pupils informed me of how proud they were that they had improved on their placing since last year’s tournament.

The department would like to thank the ‘sun’ for making an appearance and for all the support from the staff that helped marshal the course and encouraged the pupils when the going got tough!
The department would like to give special mention to the GCSE PE students that came down to help for the morning, their encouragement for the pupils was fantastic and the fact many ran the course up to three times with young pupils who needed encouragement was a joy to watch.

The tournament organisation and recording of positions could not take place without their help.

We all look forward to next year’s tournament and this year’s school cross country leagues where Whitchurch High should do very well!
