The year 4 boys started us off around the 1.5km course, fighting against other schools for the top places. Finishing first out of our Rushmere boys was Theo in 7th place. Not far behind was Daniel followed by Jo and Jack. Then the girls took off with a great run. Crossing the finish line first was Kaci then Lilly, Megan and Leanna. Great work year 4!

The course was then extended for the year 5 and 6's. They had to run 2.2km against other schools.  The year 5 boys went first with Sid's speedy performance finishing in 4th place. Followed by Kasper, Callum and Leonardo. A spectacular run from by Lana in the year 5 girls race. She finished first and didn't even look out of breath! Ashley closely followed by Darcy and Faith. Great race girls!

Team Rushmere kept up the winning streak in the year 6 boys race. Sam came over the line first with a solid run. Followed by Ben, Ashton and Alex. Alex was pulled in at the last minute this morning to race for Team Rushmere. Very adaptable! Thank you Alex! 

The year 6 girls waited all morning for their race. They were so excited from cheering the rest of the team on they gave us a great performance. Crossing the line first out of Team Rushmere was Honee-Mae then Charlotte, Bryony and Ella.

The whole team supported each other in all of the races showing that they were very proud to be a part of the team.
