Twenty of our Year 3-6 runners took on a tough and demanding cross country course last week at the annual ISA Regional competition hosted by Radnor House School. Competing across four different age-group races between 1.5-2km distance, the route proved tricky underfoot and physically challenging, testing every child’s determination, resilience, and strategy.
Our children delivered some outstanding performances, most noticeably celebrating two top five finishes (George & Isabelle) and one top ten finish (Ophelia). A fantastic achievement for them all given that they were all racing against children a year above. These three runners qualified as national representatives for London South. At the National Finals, Ophelia achieved an excellent 41st place, competing in an age group above her own — a remarkable achievement.
Well done to all runners who represented us with such determination and sportsmanship. Everyone should be proud of their results in what was an extremely tough competition.
That ends our cross-country season, and what a fabulous time it’s been! Bring on the Summer weather where our attention will return to Athletics!
