Cross Country Success for Copthorne Prep

20 Mar 2014

The first cross-country meet of 2014 was hosted by Brambletye and thankfully we managed to escape the recent bad weather.  The competition was split into Junior (Yr 5 and 6) and Senior (Yr 7 and 8) events with winning teams in each and an overall winner after combining scores.  All 16 Copthorne runners worked tirelessly in slippery conditions, negotiating tight turns and steep gradients.  After the race we were very positive of getting a good result and when all scores were calculated we were pleased to hear that our Juniors finished in 3rd place whilst the Seniors ran out in 4th.  It was a superb event and all participants played their part in a fine outcome; fully deserving of the double effort stars they received.  Special mention must go to Daniel Westwood who finished in 1st place in the Junior race.

Well done one and all!

Juniors: Beau H, Bradley S, Ella C, Rosie H, Daniel W, Will R, Yelena F, Hermione A
