First Queens Park Cross Country

First day down at Queens Park for senior school cross country.  Everyone walked down really well and was ready to go.  Would have to say most people tried hard, some more than others though.  We still need to remember to try and have a steady pace not start, stop, start, stop!

Need to mention two people I saw do really well.

Mickayla and Genesis they both found a steady pass and didn't stop till they got to the end.  Ka pai you showed true determination, and have earned the right to be really proud. (Keep it up!)  

Overall lots of positives and a little room to grow!
