It was a properly damp, muddy morning today, but that didn't stop our team of intrepid runners from giving absolutely everything in the Surrey Schools Cross-Country Races in Reigate's Priory Park.

Against the very best runners from schools across Surrey, the team- Lucas, Sam, Joe, Sean, Toby and Matthew- were BRILLIANT! They showed determination by the bucketload all the way round the challenging 2.2km course, with all of our team finishing in the top half of their races, and a bagful of top-ten finishes to boot. Whilst Lucas was our top finisher with an awesome fifth place in a very fast-paced race, every member of the Year 5 and 6 teams deserves our praise and admiration for the superb manner in which they represented St. Paul's today- WELL DONE!

Unfortunately we didn't have any girls for their races this year, but we hope the whole team's effort and achievement will inspire more of our Year 4 and 5 runners to step up and give it a go next year. #SoProudofStPauls
