On a blustery and wet Wednesday (16th January) afternoon, the BGS cross-country team took to the muddy trails of the annual Bedfordia Cross Country Run at Lincroft Academy.
The event is a highlight in the cross-country calendar, attracting more than 350 pupils from 20 schools in Bedfordshire and surrounding counties.
Split into three age groups amongst a very competitive field, the girls put in a strong team performance, with all three age groups finishing second overall.
A special mention to the Year 8 girls who caught the worst of awful wet weather conditions. The event was also a first for many girls. We would like to offer special praise to these girls because cross-country is certainly a test of character.
Overall results:
Year 5/6 finished 2nd (1st Bedfordshire School).
Year 7 finished 2nd – Race winner Rosie Foster.
Year 8 finished 2nd (1st Bedfordshire School) – Race winner Gabrielle Woodroffe-Gomez.
