Cross Country
There was a great turnout by children, parents and staff for the Cross Country races on Saturday 31st January.
This year’s event saw Hallfield hosting nine schools at our annual Cross Country meeting. 148 competitors took part in the four races on a cold but beautiful Saturday morning. Many children lost trainers in the mud but still ran on regardless!
The Under-9 and Under-11 Girls Team Competition was won by Edgbaston High School with an individual 2nd place for Hannah Macarthur (U11). The Under-9 and Under-11 boys’ races were both won by Blue Coat, with an individual 2nd place for Alexander Black.
After the races everyone tucked into hot soup and hot dogs to keep themselves warm and waited for the winners to be announced.
Hannah Macarthur, Year 6, came second in the heats even after losing her training shoe. She showed great spirit and continued the race with only one shoe. She showed great determination and her House, ‘Stork’ should be very proud of her.
Pre-Prep Sports Day
The little ones entered into the spirit, taking part in all the races with great enthusiasm and energy. They all stood proudly on the winners podium to have their medals awarded to them by the coaches from Aston Villa.
