Cross Country

Team Maui Cross Country

Cross-country is a thing when you run a long way. But at Addington school we made a track that went from our playground, past the office, behind room 9- 10- 11, in the playground near the road, around and back to the school grounds. There were three races, the “high heel walkers” competitive runners and non competitive. The walkers had to walk but the non-competitive and competitive had to run. All of us were exhausted after our races. Then we cheered for the competitive group. At the end Mr Leslie called out the people who got a place. We all went to the park to play and then later we had lunch. We were very tired because the whole thing was tiring. Some of the children are going to the Zones at Halswell Quarry. Cross-country is good because you get to exercise and get energised. That’s why we like cross-country.
