The Sandy Hill cross country team was well represented with close to sixty runners this year. The course was changed at the last minute due to a soccer game on one field but the kids accepted the challenge and did fantastic. The new course actually ended up being a little longer and we are sticking with it, meaning we will have to run a bit more at our recess practices to be prepared. Many students placed in the top twenty and all of them conquered some nerves and finished the race. Well done Sandy Hill Suns!
