East Lothian Secondary Schools Cross Country Championship

On Wednesday 31st January, we held our annual Secondary School Cross Country event at John Muir Park, Dunbar.  We were incredibly lucky with the weather – as it snowed in the centre of Edinburgh, we had beautiful sunshine, if a bit on the cold and windy side.

Around 200 Pupils from Dunbar Grammar, North Berwick High, Musselburgh Grammar, Knox Academy, Preston Lodge and Ross High School entered the event. 3 races ran; S1 Girls and Boys, S2 Girls and Boys and S3’s combined with Senior Girls and Boys.  The races were over 1.5 and 2.75 miles of difficult terrain which took a lot of skill and a great deal of energy to complete.

Some amazing runs and incredible times from many of the runners and it was a thoroughly enjoyable morning.

Overall team winners were Dunbar Grammar, many congratulations to them. However, everyone who came along and took part was a winner for completing the run.

Thanks go to Rhona Anderson and Megan Wright who did the majority of organising for the event, along with Willie Jarvie, Sandy and Dave who were also there on the day to help out, this event couldn’t go ahead without this help.  Thanks also go to Dunbar Grammar senior pupils who were there to marshal the event, led by our Athletics Ambassador Catriona McPheat.
