Crowd control easier
Students could see the course
Mr J had an awesome play list.
Being on the grass.
Being able to see all the year groups start their race
Bring your own water bottle
Participants were enthusiastic
More comfortable for children sitting on grass rather than concrete.
Intermediate students said thank you when I cheered them on
Bands for 'elite' runners
Being acknowledged as 'elite' was a neat boost
Child support being so encouraging to the laggers behinders
Our whanau who supported outside school gates
Finish line off to one side.
Mr J needs new music.
Mic to announce place getters as they arrive
Shift the finishing shute - in front of the playground? in front of the crowd?
3rd microphone at the finishing line
One teacher from each age group to stand with the finish line announcer to help identify runners as they approach the last 50 meters
Do we want the Y7-8's to have a choice for 1 or 2 laps
Give Y7-8's elite runners a scrunchy & rubber band for running the second lap
