Cross-Country Writing

                                           Cross-Country

Take your marks, get set... BANG!!! The wooden clappers bang and everyone is off. Run, run, run!!! That was all that mattered. Would I win? Nobody would know until the very end. Crunch. Sharp, pointy sticks stabbed themselves into my foot and I wanted to stop. No. I told myself. No stopping until the end! By now I had raced up the small but steep hill and to my surprise I was coming first! I just had to keep going. The other racers were not far behind and one girl was gaining on me. Go, go, go!!! Just keep running. I was down the big hill by now and I could hear everyone chanting, Go Kiri! Go Kiri! Go Kiri! On and on and on it went until I had finally accomplished my mission in finishing Hurupaki School Cross-Country!!!

                              The End!!!
