Cross-Country recount

On the 17th of May the Amberly School children held there senior Cross-Country.
It was a warm windy day. The afternoon started with the 8 & 9 year old girls followed by the 8 & 9 year old boys. At first a few falls and tears then everybody got on with it. At the end of every race there was not one person that looked tired and exhausted . You could just see all the childrens' smiles on their faces knowing they had finished their race with success. There was also a lot of enthusiasm and cheering as the other people sprinted down the finish line. The day ended with a lolly scramble, after that I was pretty sure everyone enjoyed their race even if they didn't get into Kowai.
Here are a few quotes from some kids before and after their races.

What feeling did you have before and after the race?

Zoe felt competitive and amazed when she finished!
Rhiannon felt competitive and amazed when she finished!
Sean felt awesome at the start and finish!
Brianna felt excited when she started and finished!
Jayden felt like he was going to die or kill himself!
Dean felt nervous at the start and happy at the end!
