Congratulations to Daniel Wordsworth, for getting into the Canterbury cross-country running team because he came 7th in Canterbury School's cross-country race.
Daniel's team were training and then went to Timaru for an international race. There were four different competing teams; from Wellington, Tasman, South Canterbury, and the Canterbury relay team. Daniel's team (Canterbury) came second in the relay race. In the 3km race Daniel came 15th/49. Tu meke!
We asked Daniel a few questions about his running:
Was this a difficult achievement?
Yes, because 10 weeks of hard training was quite difficult. But it was a good experience!
How did you manage to come 15th/49 and second in the relay race?
Well I trained a lot.
What was it like at the start? Were you anxious, excited?
I was quite nervous, I've never raced that many people.
