Cross Country recount by Erin

The day of cross country
Air rushed past my face as I zoomed for the finish line. What place I came was unknown, but I didn’t care. All I knew was that I had done it. I finished cross country!
The day of cross country had come and I was nervous. Quickly, I walked up to the starting line with the other participation girls and got ready to run. Mrs. Walker blew the whistle and I started to swing my legs. Left, right, left, right, over and over again. Halfway through the course my legs were tired, my lungs were burning and I had a stitch in my side. I tried to push through. Sadly, I couldn’t so I walked for a while.
When I regained my energy, I started running again. As I ran I became aware of the pain stabbing on by side, but I ignored it, as I was determined to finish cross country. I ran and ran. Left, right, left, right. Nearing to the finish I came across Eden from Room 21. She was jogging and breathing heavily, “Go, go, go Eden!” I cheered her on, She smiled and jogged faster.
We neared to the end and I started to run with all my might, zooming for the finish line! “Go, Erin! Go, Eden!” The other girls cheered. Eden came after me and I smiled at her. I let out a whoop of joy, but I definitely know that I don’t want to do that again.

Cross Country recount by Jace

                      CROSS COUNTRY I was so hyped when I woke up. When we started running five people overtook me. Then I overtook two people. I kept on running to the finish. Zac was cheering me on. Then I zoomed down the finish line. And I couldn't feel my legs. When I went past the finish line I got my drink and poured it on my head. And it felt great. After we watched how to train your dragon. My day was awesome. By Jace

Cross Country recount by Meher

Cross Country I ran up the hill zooming past the others. I was breathing fast. When I entered the bush my shoelaces got untied. That was a problem. I had to stop and tie them up. I was falling behind. I ran out of the bush and on the sidewalk. I felt like my legs were going to fall off. Later I past Mrs Berghmans. She gave me a coupon. It was worth fifty house points! I was inside the school. I raced forward as people cheered. I was in fifth place. I walked back to the hall. They started handing out the awards. Four people from our class came in the top three. Katie even got a trophy for coming first. I wanted to start all over. By Meher
