On Friday 6th of June 2014 the Totara syndicate of Nelson Central School went to Brand ford park to do their cross country. When we got there the year 5 girls went first then it was the year 5 boy's turn.  I went up with the year 5 boys. Dave clapped the clappers and I sprinted off on the muddy grass trying to get to the front of the bunch. People were shoving and pushing. We came to a ditch. I leaped  over while others walked through it. I ran up the hill and over the bridge. I ran down the hill and into the car park.  I saw people clapping and cheering.
