ISAZ Cross Country

On Friday [27th February] we had cross country at Amano for the under 19 boys and the schools that came were Lifesong, Emma’s kids, Lechwe, Ndola Trust, Simba and Amano. Amano fielded three boys teams Amano A,  Amano B and Amano C. Before we started the race the weather was not friendly; it was raining hard and the ground became slippery but we thanked God that the rain stopped. We were a bit nervous because we have never raced Lifesong and Emma’s kids before but we knew that we could do it. We started the race and there were lots of people at the starting point. The hardest part of the race was the swampy area and the stony uphill paths. After the race they added the points and Amano A came first but there was lots of competition and its was nice to see some guys putting a lot of effort and work into the race even though it was extremely tough. Thanks to the people who were supporting us and a big thanks as well to Mr and Mrs Grove and the teachers.

Note from staff:

Amano invited two orphanages to take part in the event. Lifesong and Emma's are both Kitwe based orphanages and have schools attached to them. There connection with the Amano is current and past students from these institutions. They were extremely good runners and came first overall and so deserve a recognition here for their work. They are not part of ISAZ which is why the captain's reports states Amano was first. This is reference to the ISAZ trophy. It was good to have visitors to raise the standard of competition. Also noteworthy is that despite this increase in competition Sani was still able to come first place with an excellent effort. Well done.
