Then we went back to anounce the scores and it was out of Hydref and Haf So we had either come 1st or 2nd then Mr Williams was loking at us Haf then he said Hydref, so everyone in Haf were screeming as loud as they could because when Mr. W said Hydref that was for 2nd place and we came 1st so everyone was happy including Mrs Fouracre. So we were all holding the cup that we had won. So Haf has won it for 3 times in a row now.

A British National Champion at St. Nicholas C/W Primary School
|
Katie Munro, British Champion
A proud champion! |
|
On the 27th of July I was at a great Britain surf life saving competition in Devon I had to do all types of competitions there like sprints, long distance and more. When went in the sea and came back out again I had to put on my space suit which is just a huge coat which covers your whole body and its like a radiator in there !! It was very tough in Devon because there are a lot of very good people out there and was difficult in all the races. I did win a medal though, which was in the board which is where I have to go out into the sea with a board and paddle quite far out and come back in again, I won a gold medal in that which meant I was the best out of great Britain for 11 year olds! I was very happy with myself but the main thing is to get points for my team which were Rhoose and also I just ha to have fun which I did. |
|
I am so proud of your achievements Katie! That is a great honour to be British Champion, make sure you shout it from the rooftops! Forget Jonny Weismuller or Mark Spitz, the Swimming Hall of Fame had better make way for KATIE MUNRO |
