Cross Country 2015

I was running, getting my third mark and my blood was pumping and my hat was sticking to my head. I was about to give up until I heard, "Almost done, were nearly finished",Sebastian yelled .I huffed and puffed, running out of breathe, but after getting my energy back I zoomed past Skyla and Julia then past the church and room 17.

As I was racing myself up the huge grass hill I heard the whole senior syndicate chanting, "Maddie Maddie Maddie," I felt like I was at the Olympics running around the tracks 10 times, then I sprinted like my whole life depended on it. As I ran to get my final mark Taupiri took me into her arms and placed the black vivid upon my hand.

I ran to my Mother who was sitting there doing the scores. I sat next to her as she sported a great big grin across her face. She said " I'm so proud of you Mo". I just sat there too tired to move or say anything!
