Cross Country 2013


The time had come for the Otago championship cross country race. This year it was held at Kaikorai Valley Collage. The school had one person participating who was Shay.  
When he got there he had to go to the hall and register.   Next he went out on the field and waited to be  called out.   While he was waiting he watched the year 6 girls and year 5 boys.
The time had come for the Year six race.  Then the horn was blown and they were off.   Lots of people were slipping over and Shay was nearly tripped over.   The track was really muddy  as  feet got stuck in the mud , slowed them all down and made the race hard.
On the last straight of the race Shay passed 3 people. The finishing line was in sight and it was a relief to see it.   At the end Shay came 30th out of 62 people. Shay was so tired after the race that the teacher let him go home.
