Runaway Cross Country Success!

Outstanding success at the EPSSA Cross Country event on Monday 2nd March on the Meadows. Rose achieved a fabulous First Place in the P6 Girls' race and Cerys also had a convincing First Place win in the P7 Girls' race (having won last year, too, and this year fortunately not having to run for part of the race with only one shoe!). Robyn achieved a commendable 10th place in the P7 Race.  Susannah ran a great race to come Fourth place with Holly hot on her heels in 5th place for P6. Lawson achieved a very respectable Fourth Place in the hard fought P7 Boys' race, with Joe coming 9th. P6 boys also ran extremely well with Stephen achieving Fourth place, Matthew Caldwell 5th and Matthew Ross 7th place and Calum 16th place. The other runners also did extremely well, with many being placed in the first fifty in each event, competing against 48 schools from all over the city.

Our five fastest P6 and P7 boys and girls out of the ten who competed in each race will go on to compete in the EPSSA Final Cross Country event at Duddingston Playing Fields on Monday 16th March at 11.00am. Thank you to all the parents who came along to support and to Willie Jarvie who has coached the children so well at the lunchtime Running Club. Participation in the Lothian Schools Cross Country events has also had a hugely positive impact on the progress and success of the pupils. Well done P6 and P7! A very exciting event!

Thank you to Mrs Sally Nowell for helping to officiate and to our PE Specialist, Mrs Beth Walker, for organising the entire proceedings, with assistance from our Active Schools Co-ordinator, Mr Jonathan Wallace.
