Cokethorpe Cross Country

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.

Wantage were announced the winners for Year 4, 5 and 6 girls races. We are very proud of all the runners who represented the school and for their individual achievements during the afternoon.
