NCPS hosts area cross-country meet

Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School hosted a cross-country running competition Wednesday when over 10 schools gathered and had a massive race.

These schools were St. Noel, Admiral, New Lowell public school, Clearview Meadows, Cameron Street Public School, Connaught, Mountain View, Bing, Worsley, Birchview Dunes, and of course, Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School.

Eight races were held with schools bringing teams of four grades, and each grade raced with boys and girls. Students said that they were very nervous leading up to their race, but were more confident once it started.

I got the opportunity to talk to the winner of one of the races, and he said that he practiced very hard for the event, and that he was a sporty guy.

So, it seems this event was not taken lightly by the competitors. One student even had his shoe come off his foot during the run, and he just kept on running, finishing the race with only one shoe!
