The boys and girls trained regularly and again this paid off when it came the Cross Country events. Unfortunately, we missed out on competing in a couple of events which were cancelled due to Covid-19 regulations, but not before we had impressed at County level in the Herts Schools championships with our Year 5 boys’ team of
Ollie O, Alfie A and Alex B winning the team competition. All our runners represented the school to the best of their ability in a challenging course at Verulamium Park in St Albans. The girls’ team of Scarlett BE, Harrie S and Daisy A only just missed out on claiming the team award as well. Diggory C was our highest placed finisher
in the Year 6 races.
