No#1 in the Mud!!
UC Education Mud Run - Sunday 19th June 2016
Our West Melton 'TADS' team came 1st in the UC Education
Mud Run mixed team race on Sunday!
'TADS' - Ted W, Aydan
S, Daisy M and Stacey M competed against 35 Secondary and Intermediate school
kids at the UC Education Mud Run held at the Motukarara Race Track.
This year Sport
Canterbury invited Selwyn schools to send a team of students to
compete in the Mud Run. On the day there
were over 1000 students and teachers competing, in three events: Boys team,
Mixed team and Girls team.The students were encouraged to dress up, with a
'Best Dressed' parade before the event started.
The Mud Run is a
5km off road obstacle course through mud, mud pits, mud slides, hurdles
and pipes. They are encouraged to stay as a team and finish together.
Our students took
this on board with lots self belief, encouragement and teamwork,
they ran the whole course, more likely flew over the mud as well!
Thank you to Kathryn Meyers, Jude Morgan and Pauline Scotland (and close families and friends) who organised the team on the day and cheered them on!
A well deserved win!
