A massive well done to the four @exschsports pupils who competed for Devon at the South West cross country championships this Saturday. It was VERY muddy! Evie finished 17th overall, George 24th and Penelope & Rory both won their events! Amazing!
Penelope, Rory & George will all represent Devon Schools at the English Schools cross country championships in Liverpool in March. We can’t wait to hear about how they get on!
