2019 Tasmanian Primary All Schools Cross Country
On Tuesday 25th June, thirty-one of our 3-6 students spent the day at Symmons Plains Raceway competing in the All Schools State Primary Cross Country. Excitement was high within the group on the bus trip out to what was expected to be a very cold track. Luckily for all involved, particularly Mr Jones, the weather was much better than expected, allowing for students to participate to the best of their ability on a reasonably dry track.
With around 50 schools in attendance and about 200 students in each race, organised chaos reigned throughout the day. With so many students in each race, determining a finishing position was hard. The best position on the day was Riley H finishing in 8th place in the Grade 6 Boys Race. Official results and positions will become available in the coming days.
All students enjoyed the challenge and experience of competing in such a large event. The enthusiasm of students cheering on their fellow Norwood runners was great to see and an excellent advertisement for Norwood Primary School. Thanks to those parents who came along to support our runners.
