Partnership x-country competition
Swindon partnership introduced x-country as a new competition this year with great success.
Nine schools from Swindon entered the partnership x-country event which took place at Lydiard park on wednesday 18th November. The weather was looking like typical x-country weather on the morning of the competition with lots of rain and wind, however this did clear for the event in the afternoon giving some ideal running conditions. All competitors turned up keen and eager to try their best running over a distance that many would never have run before. The course consisted of hills and rough terrain reaching just over 1 mile in length, each competitor tackled it with great determination resulting in some very good times. The final results were a win for Tregoze girls and a win for Chiseldon boys.
I would like to congratulate all pupils who entered and showed great team spirit in supporting all runners. We look forward to seeing even more entries next year.
