With the races condensed into one afternoon due to some fairly awful weather, a slightly depleted number of children decided to brave the elements and compete for the school in the first cross country of the 2023-24 season!

The children of St Joseph's never cease to amaze me and once again there were 27 fantastic performances with points accumulating from EVERYONE that raced! We are currently sitting in 4th place out of 16 schools (Brilliant effort).

There were too many racers for me to mention everyone who attended the event but a special mention must go out to Ethan in Year 5 with a gutsy 14th position in an incredibly strong field and to Ciara (also in Year 5) who battled all the way to the end and earned some well deserved points for the school.

There were of course a number of other amazing results, including top ten finishes for Rowan, Freya, Lilah in Year 3, Molly, Emma, Ava and Oscar in Year 4, Emily in Year 5 and finally Harry and Jolie in Year 6!

WELL DONE EVERYONE and I look forward to watching you all race again on Wednesday 13th November (Years 3 and 5) and Thursday 14th December (Years 4and 6) at Bridgwater College Academy.
