Cross-Country Running
National Prep School Cross Country Championship
at Malvern College - Sunday, 1st March, 2009
Having had a couple of decent seasons of late Maidwell decided, once again, to enter the championship. The course was an extremely hard one with some very testing hills. The event was huge with up to 30 schools competing with teams of 6 in each race.
Being in the small school category Maidwell had the chance to compete on two fronts. The junior team went first and, after a couple of slight fitness worries, managed to win both the small school event and the National Trophy.
Next it was the turn of the senior side who had an even more testing run. Through hard work and determination they managed to win the Small Schools' trophy and finished 3rd in the national competition.
Junior team: Clarke, Cleverly, Weatherby, Payne, Chamberlayne & Pease.
Senior team: Cleverly, Francklin, Wright, Bullard, Weatherby & Playne.
