School Cross Country Race #2
The second cross country school event that Ben took part in was at Eggbuckland school. As it was after school, I was able to leave work a little earlier to go and watch him. He did very well and came 24th out of about 60 in the boys race for his age, which was very good as there were some excellent runners taking part. His boys team ended up being runners up, which was good. In fact, all of the Bickleigh teams for both boys and girls were either 1st or 2nd overall. Ben got another nice certificate for taking part but he found this one more difficult as it was quite hilly at Eggbuckland school, and it was windy and cold, so not ideal conditions. Hopefully he will be in the team in the New Year for more races as the next race was for less people so he couldn’t take part in it, which was a shame, as Ben is number 6 in the team order.
