Harlow Green Primary was represented at the Gateshead International Cross Country Festival by Year 6 pupils Emma, Harry, Dylan and Andrew. The tournament attracted schools from across the North East, to challenge themselves on part of Gateshead's international world cup cross country circuit.

All of our athletes set new personal bests on a very demanding circuit, where even some international runners failed to achieve in the main events later that day. Special praise has to go to Emma, who was our only contestant in the girls race. However, despite the pressure of carrying the hopes of Harlow by herself, she never gave up running to set a new standard for effort and achievement. Well done you, from all the boys.

The boys performed excellently as a team, Dylan led the way with a very impressive time in difficult conditions, but then really shone as he encouraged Harry and Andrew on to great success. All I can say is, 'WHAT A TEAM!'

A big thank you also to the parents who came to support our athletes, they helped to turn a good day into what was a fabulously enjoyable event, one I look forward to doing again next year.

Well done to you all, from a very proud Mr Hilton.
