County Cross Country Final
On Saturday 19th March Jess and Luke from Year 6 represented the Forest of Dean in the annual County Cross Country race. Both had won their respective district races and were looking forward of races against the best in Gloucestershire.
On a cold morning it was Luke who raced first and after the mile long circuit finished in a very respectable 15th place. Next it was the girls. Jess was in the leading bunch the whole way round and finished in an impressive 6th place.
Well done to Jess and Luke for racing so well. A big thank you to Miss Owen for supporting both pupils and running the after school cross country club.
It has been great to see the progress of Luke and Jess this year. Both worked so hard in the race and were a real credit to Highnam Academy.
