On a bitterly cold but sunny day, Plymouth College Preparatory School U11 boys' cross country team took the top spot in the St Petroc's Cross Country competition. Competing against 24 schools from across Devon and Cornwall, the U11 girls' and U9 boys' teams came 3rd in their categories.
The challenging event took place on the cliffs above the beaches at Bude in North Cornwall. The U9s tackled a hilly 1500m course while the U11s competed over 2500m. Outstanding individual performances included George Spencer, Phoebe Tank and Joe Taylor who all came 4th in their races.
"I am very proud of all our young runners", said PE teacher, Sue Butcher. "There were more than 100 runners in each race so for three to get top five places is a great achievement."
