On Thursday 2nd May 2019, My whole school (SFOA) walked down to Walter Park and particpated in Cross Country. For anyone that doesn't know what Cross Country is here is where you will find out! Cross Country is where everyone runs a certain distance and does their best to try and go to Cross Country Zones\Centrals. At 9am on that Thursday Morning, we packed our bags, got a Year 1\2 buddy and walked on over to Walter Park where Cross Country was to comence!
The order of Cross Country was:
Year 8 Boys Laps: 3
Year 8 Girls Laps: 3
Year 0-1 Boys Laps: 500m
Year 0-1 Girls Laps: 500m
Year 2 Boys Laps: 500m
Year 2 Girls Laps: 500m
Year 3 Boys Laps: 1 & 500m
Year 3 Girls Laps: 1 & 500m
Year 4 Boys Laps: 1 & 500m
Year 4 Girls Laps: 1 & 500m
Year 5 Boys Laps: 2
Year 5 Girls Laps: 2
Year 6 Boys Laps: 2
Year 6 Girls Laps: 2
This was a very busy but managed to get back to school around 12:30pm on that Thursday.
Anyway, when we arrived at Walter Park, we placed our bags on the grass and chilled until our race was about to start. That was for everyone exepct the year 8 Boys and Girls as well as the Year 7 Boys and Girls whos races were going to start a little bit after we had arrived. Our warm- up was running half of Walter Park and back then doing some moving stretches. When it was time for our race, we started at the line, they called our Ready then Go! Everyone was really pumped and looked quite happy that they were particpating in Cross Country. From the list above, the teachers had put the year 7&8's at the front\top of the list as anyone that wanted to was going to run with the year 0s to year 4s. I had a bet that it was going to be fun but very tiring.
When all the year 7&8's had finsihed their race, it was time for the little kids to run their race. Any year 7&8's that wanted to do more running could. I wanted to do more running so I put my hand up and offered. In the end I did 7 laps around Walter Park instead of 3! I was super duper tired after all that running!
At the end of Cross Country I got my result and I came 10th place which was an amazing achievement for me! I had really enjoyed Cross Country and hopefully I get to to it again sometime next year!
Has your school ever done Cross Country before?
