Cross Country 2004

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.
