On a cold, overcast day the students of HNI took on the annual cross-country, and it was very pleasing to see the students competing so enthusiastically in this challenge. Obviously some pride was at stake and this was most noticeable when the year 8 boys set off. Quick surges to the front were soon gobbled up be the more accomplished runners. After 9m14s the first boy crossed the line- full credit to Will from Nepia House, but close behind was Room 13's own Max, bettering his pre-race expectations to run in second. Edward was 5th- another great run. So, two Room 13 boys in the first five places- outstanding!
The girls race followed shortly after and again it was great to see such enthusiasm. The field ended up being quite spread out, especially among the quicker girls, and Rebecca was the first Room 13 girl back in 12th place and Chloe B and Eva coming in the top 20.
A super afternoon and appropriate finale to the hours spent running and recording our efforts.
