Cross-country at The Whitehaven Academy
A massive well done to the junior children who took part in a cross-country event at Whitehaven Academy today. The recent rain had made the conditions very difficult! However, this didn’t deter our young athletes — they ran the course with great determination and a smile on their faces 🏃 🏃♀️. A special mention to Kayden and Connor who came first in the Y6 and Y3 races, respectively. Many thanks to Copeland School Games for organising the event, and Whitehaven Academy for the excellent sports leaders who directed the runners around the field 👏.
