Running to victory: Year 4 Girls race against each other at this year’s Pembrokeshire Primary Schools Cross Country Championships held at Oakwood.

 
A record number of competitors took part in this year’s Pembrokeshire Primary Schools’ Cross Country Championships.
 
Over 1,100 young athletes representing 51 schools from across the County took their marks at Oakwood Theme Park for one of the highlights of the School calendar.
 

Perfect conditions and excellent ‘hares’

 
With perfect conditions underfoot, the runners recorded some excellent times across the eight age group races and as usual, the ‘wall of sound’ along the finishing straight was deafening as supporters from each school cheered on their friends.
 
Students from Sir Thomas Picton and Pembroke School acted as ‘Hares’ for the event making sure competitors stayed on course from start to finish and their contribution was a great aid to the race management.
 
Cllr David was delighted
 
“This event is one of the great spectacles of School sport in Pembrokeshire,” said Cabinet Member for Education, Councillor David Lloyd.
 
“It’s encouraging to see so many youngsters taking part and even better to see them so enthused by it.  
 
“Congratulations to all of them.”
 
Golden Grove were crowned overall winners of the competition with Hook CP School winning the Small School Shield for the third year in four.
