Cross Country



The pressure is on, we are all here for one thing and one thing only, to win. Each point we earn today gets us a step closer to winning a trophy at the end of the year. I am cheering for my house St Peter Channel. The patron saint of Oceania, the man who brought Christianity to New Zealand. Not to brag or anything.
When Miss Mules called to the starting line I started to shake like a bowl of jelly.
To begin with we did our stretches with Miss Chaney. We rushed over to the starting line. On your mark get set and go!! We're off past the the juniors past and the first teacher.
I'm on a roll close to first place, wait what's happening i'm slowing down maybe it wasn't such a good idea to waste all my energy in the beginning. But this this race is not over yet. I could hear the frenzy of tumultuous cheers as I darted up the hill. I heard all the noise my house was making I felt so sheepish, I couldn't believe all that cheering was for me.
 All I could do was to do my best and hope that we might win.
