16th November Cross Country Competition at Cokethorpe

Cokethorpe Cross Country

Our cross country teams performed exceptionally well on Friday at Cokethorpe School. Against tough competition from local primary and prep schools, everyone ran to their best. All three girls' teams won their age groups which is a fabulous achievement. Well done girls!

On Friday 16^th November 2018, Wantage took 25 children to Cokethorpe School for their annual Cross Country Competition.

The children raced in their year groups with the Year 4 girls starting the afternoon off. Rose finished in a fantastic 2^nd place, closely followed by her team with Annie in 4^th, Annabel in 5^th and Chloe in 19^th.

In the boys race the team all finished closely packed together with Joshua in 40^th, Edward 41^st, Patrick 49^th and Albie 51^st.

The Year 5 children were the next to take part. In a very exciting girls race the team all finished close together with all 5 runners finishing in the top 10!

The boys were led home by Flynn finishing in 23^rd place closely followed by his team Thomas, Szymon and Zachary.

The year 6 girls were eager to start their race after a long wait. Poppy and Evie led the race and finished a long way ahead in 1^st and 2^nd place respectively. To complete the team Estelle finished in 6^th place and Jessica in 16^th.

In the boys race despite a tricky start for Harry he managed to lead the boys team home in 45^th place closely followed by his team Alfie, James and Evan.

The children all enjoyed a hot chocolate and doughnuts while we we waited for the team results.
