“This year I was lucky enough to compete at Auckland Champs Cross-Country which was a great experience. The event was held at the Kumeu showgrounds, it was a reasonably flat course with one small incline at the start. We, the year sevens, did a 1km circuit three times and the year eights did an extra 500m at the start of their race. Before it started I was nervous but as soon as the race started my nerves fell away and were replaced with burning legs. There were many different schools and I knew a lot of runners from playing other sports, which made the day really fun. Out of approximately 90 competitors I finished seventh! That was a big achievement for me because I do not do running as a sport and was competing with top athletes in Auckland. I thought it was a good result. I was also really proud of the other runners from St Ignatius who gave their all and did really well. Thank you to Mrs Compston and the other parents who took us to the event so we could compete.” - James Ronald

“On the 6th September I had the chance to compete in my 4th competition mainly being my 3rd Secondary schools one I was very proud of the fact that I had made two new PBs (personal best) I was also amazed by how many people there were to support everyone even kids people didn't know! I was very happy to come away with a gold medal and new techniques that my coach Georgia had given me. Overall I was happy with my performance. It really felt like all that training had paid off! “ Emma McRae
