Deserved
Praise for Young Tolsta Runners
This
school session the school entered teams and individuals into
the Lewis and Harris Cross Country Championships. It
proved to be a very successful season for the young Tolsta
runners and they and their parents deserve the community's
praise for their efforts.
The
boys' team, photographed above, won the team prize for the
boys under 11 races and the girls, also shown, won the team
prize for the girls under 9 event.
As
well as these team awards the school also won the following
individual prizes: 2 nd overall in the boys under 9 category
(Campbell Macdonald), 2 nd overall in the boys under 11 category
(Sean Macleod), 1 st overall in the girls under 9 category
(Catriona Mackay) and 3 rd overall in the girls under 9 category
(Sarah Mackay). It is worth pointing out that these
last two girls are not only sisters but in fact twin sisters.
Congratulations
to all the runners who were involved. They did themselves,
their school and their community proud.

Successful
Trip Across the Border
On
Saturday 6 th March the Western Isles Cross Country Championships
took place at Seilibost in Harris. Runners from Lewis,
Harris and the Uists attended. In all 170 runners were
at the event. Tolsta School sent a party of 10 runners,
along with accompanying adults, to the event and we did not
come away empty handed. The young runners won two firsts,
three fourths and a fifth against strong opposition.
Congratulations
also to former pupil Murdo Alex Mackenzie, who won the under
17 competition.
Pictured
above are Campbell Macdonald and Catriona Mackay who won the
Under -9 boys and Under -9 girls races respectively.
Well done to all those who braved the trip across the border
to take on the Hearachs and Uibhisteachs.
