Ross-Sutherland Schools Cross Country

On the 8th of February three pupils travelled to Alness Academy to take part in the Ross-Sutherland Schools Cross Country Championships 2017. All nine schools attended in total 245 runners, with around 50 running in each of our races.

Sam Frost (S1) ran first in the S1 boys race, he got a good position at the start and managed to maintain that to finish 10th.

Asha Wright (S2) ran next in the under 15 girls race, it started very fast but Asha looked strong, she ran well and finished in 27th place.

Eoin Cumming (S2) ran last in the under 15 boys race. He had watched the start of the other races, so had time to think about his own starting tactics. He stayed with the leaders to finish in an impressive 4th place.

They were all fast paced races, faster than we expected but all three of them finished with nothing left to give. Well done Sam, Asha and Eoin, you get a little rest now before our own school Cross Country event on the 24th of February!
