Bucks Schools’ Cross Country, Hughenden Valley, Wednesday 4 February

Twelve schools competed in this Year 5 and 6 combined team event. The children braved sub- zero conditions at Hughenden Valley, competing over a tough 1500m circuit, crossing twice through a freezing stream.

The team events are calculated by adding together the first four runners’ times. Medals are also awarded to the top three runners in each age group.

Year 5/6 Girls (97 runners)

Esme Y 17th (8.42), Daisy S 25th (8.55), Skye M 26th (8.58), Sophie A 30th ( 9.01), Georgia M 36th (9.16), Jessica M 37th (9.23), 40th Jessica C (9.30), 44th Helen N (9.33), 52nd Roisin G (9.44), 61st Isabella J (9.52), 65th Chantel O (10.00), 79th Maddi S (10.31).

The Y5/6 girls were 4th in this event.

Zach R 1st (7.01), Cormac N 6th (7.26), Alex P 19th (7.28), James M 28th (8.23), Will N 29th (8.24), Sam A 30th (8.25), James P 34th (8.29), Harry O’C-P 64th (9.04).

Zach R won Gold in the Year 6 category and Cormac N won Silver in the Year 5 age group. The Year 5/6 team finished a close 2nd to the Beacon. It was a great result, especially as several members of the squad were not available to run.

Year 6 Boys (95 runners)
