The next race was the U11 boys’ 2000m race, which was won collectively by the team from The Elms School.

The U13 girls’ race, saw pupils run a 2500m course, this was won individually by our very own Year 8 student, Amelia Chrispin – with Mount St. Mary’s taking 1^st as a team.

The last race was the U13 boys’ – which saw Worksop College pupils, Alex Bett come in 2^nd place, Hugo Price 4^th and Zain Davenport 5^th – with our boys’ team taking the coveted 1^st place trophy.
