Cross Country!

Pump,pump and pump!

I wake up with a jolt,my mind racing and my heart is pounding.

One thing flashes in my brain CROSS COUNTRY.

In what felt like ten minutes I was cheering my heart out to little kids at our annual Summerland Cross Country.

A while later which seemed like hours,the ten year old girls had finished stretching and were standing at the starting line feeling nervous,excited and very determined.

Seeing all the coloured tee-shirts and waiting for Miss Davies to set the clapper.

It sounded and we shot off pushing,shoving and with lots of giggles.

We ran past many teachers and loads of parents who all encouraged us with cries of, "Good girls,keep going,clap,clap,clap"

After three times around the course I sprinted down the pathway of fame.

Mrs Van Gills wrote the number 5 on my hand.

Everyone at summerland did very well and should be proud of themselves.

What an awesome event.
