On Monday the 4th of March, 40 Currie Primary senior pupils took part in a cross country running competition at the Meadows. Two of our P7s got a place in the top ten, Filip Adamczyk and Amelia Murray.
What is cross country?
Cross country is a running competition were you must pace yourself and run a substantial distance. It is incredibly difficult to get in the top ten and to not collapse of exhaustion. The thing that is unique about cross country is that they are generally rather long for example the one that we competed in was 1.3km long.
The set up
The first race was with the B schools at 10:30. A B race is a race with the smaller schools with only a couple hundred people in it. This was the P6 girls race then it moved on to the bigger schools. After that, the P6 boys ran and Finlay Miller came 8th.Then it was the P7’s turn. Again, the B schools and the girls went first. Then the bigger schools went and this was when Currie Primary did our school proud. Amelia got fifth place. In the P7 boys race, Filip placed ninth.
It was brilliant that 3 Currie Primary pupils placed in the top 10 of our races. We were very proud and very grateful to Mr Donaldson, our PE teacher for encouraging us.
