Earlier on, a mix of boys and girls from Year 5 and 6 took part in the annual Cross County Championships, held in the grounds of Wollaton Park.

 

This event is one of the most physically demanding competitions primary-aged pupils take part in - with real endurance and determination needed to run the full course… Today’s cold and wet weather really didn’t help with this!

 

Well done to all those involved though, as the conditions never seemed to bother them, with all 14 of our athletes recording impressive times. Great effort Team Whitemoor!

 

A special mention goes to Tyrai, who came 19th in the boys’ race and Kuleni, who came 21st in the girls’ race. Even more impressively - both Tyrai and Kuleni were a year younger than nearly all other competitors.

 

Our Y5/6 Cross Country Championship team was made up of: Shalom-Chris O, Tyler C, Tyrai E, Alessandro C, Hayder I, Travae R, Kuleni S, Ticianny M, Alyssia N, Glenisha B, Inez W, Mariah-Lace A, Jaylah C and Vina R.
