Cross country

Cross country is starting very soon! Students from grades 4, 5, 6, and 7 are eligible. Cross country is a sport that requires you to run large distances. This means it requires a tremendous amount of stamina not just physically but also mentally. There will be practises in the morning and after school. In cross country races, many schools will walk or be driven to a meeting area where the schools will participate in a long-distance race (parents can sign up to help drive). Each race will be catagorized through grades and gender. For example: grade 5 boys will race before the grade 5 girls start. The top 25 or 10 will be handed a ribbon while the top 3 also get a medal. The good thing is that the other racers that participated will be given a participaion ribbon for the effort.
