STATE CROSS COUNTRY

On Thursday 13th of July we participated in Victorian Primary School’s State Cross Country, representing St Ita’s. We ran at Yarra Glen racecourse and ran a distance of 3km for Marley and Tilly and Eli’s age group ran 2km.

We were really proud of how we ran. Marley came 59th, Tilly came 43rd out of 84, and Eli came 35th out of 88.

The course was very muddy and had to navigate car tracks throughout the course.  Before we ran, two people gave us a run-down of the track, and what we should expect to happen before and after the race. We were told about rules for competing in the race, like how cleats (hard plastic spikes) were not allowed in primary events, and what the procedure would be like after the race.

We all got a State jumper and if you paid $10 extra you could get your name on the back. You could also get other merchandise like pants, shirts and socks and much more.

Over all we are very proud of ourselves for competing in the State Cross Country and we congratulate everyone else who participated.
