We want to congratulate all the students who took part in the cross country held yesterday at Takou Bay Road Landcorp Farm. Great to see all the Kerikeri Schools in attendance and they were joined by a couple of schools from Whangarei.
What a challenging course it was.
2.4 km's of hill climbs, downhill sprints and wading through knee deep mud. All this and the usual blustery and cold westerly conditions which seem to grace the event every year. Not for the faint hearted.
In saying that there was no sign of any hesitation on the part of the children and young people competing.
We want to congratulate all those who participated with lots of gutsy performances and perseverance. A special mention to the place getters from all attending schools.
Louie, Ethan, Patrick, Logan, Mahi and Flynn - 8 y/o boys
Eleanor - 9 y/o girls FIRST PLACE, also running, Lani and Leslie
Arran and Oakley - 9 y/o boys
Amalfi - 10 y/o girls THIRD PLACE, also running, Rita
Dejan and Julien - 11 y/o boys

A big thank you to the parents and whānau who supported with transport and were there on the sidelines to cheer on the competitors. Mauri Ora!
