Cross Country Super Stars

Just a quick note about the amazing performance of the Methley team at Woodlesford on Friday night. A huge number of children, proud parents and staff were there to support the participants in a brilliant night of cross country running.

Firstly the boys team, made up of Liam, Leon, Owen, Jack and Daniel put together a set of amazing times and places. The stand out performance coming from Liam Birrell who won the boys event with Daniel Easton and Owen also finishing inside the top 10!! These places added together meant that the boys finished in second place overall. Well done boys!!

The girls team, made up of Grace & Hannah Plater, Ella and Emily were able to go one better! Grace Plater, following on from finishing second in last years race, managed to win the girls event and the rest of the team placed in the top 10! This meant that for the first time Methley won the girls comp!! Absolutely brilliant effort ladies!

As well as these two successes there were many other children from school who took part in the all comers race and ran excellently and represented school fantastically well. Thank you to all the parents that attended and helped the children. Let's hope next year we can do equally as well!!
