On Tuesday, we had the pleasure of taking three Ballard pupils to the Hampshire County Cross Country Championships in Basingstoke to proudly represent the New Forest.
All three ran brilliantly against some very tough competition with over 100 runners in each race, with only the top 15 going through to the next round.
Josh W ran up an age group for the U13 boys finishing 11th and securing himself a place to represent Hampshire at the Inter-counties Championships in Aldershot in two weeks time. Best of Luck Josh!
Bodhi Pollard put in a strong performance, placing 28th for the U13 boys.
Sophie Cadbury ran with great determination and finished 30th for the U13 girls.
“They should all feel incredibly proud of what they achieved on the day and throughout the entire cross country season. They’ve been an absolute joy to teach and to take to events – Well done!”
Stephanie Bottell, Head of Girls’ Games
