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.
