Salford Schools Cross Country Championship – Round 1

On a very cold and damp Saturday morning on Bolton Road Playing Fields, St Mary’s Cross Country Squad took part in the first of four meets in the Salford Schools Cross Country Championship.

The squad is split up into joint year groups, 3 & 4 boys and girls, 5 & 6 boys and girls. All of the runners did extremely well and for a first time on a new course they exceeded expectations. Out of all the Salford Schools that have entered we are currently sixth overall.

All the runners should be very proud and we should give special mention to four of the runners who received certificates for coming in the top twenty of their categories.

Next event is at Buile Hill Park on the 26th November where we aim to better our result and climb up the rankings.
