KTJ Cross Country, the annual event that can be dreadful to the majority because it just
means house run all over again. Irinah, who is always one of the earliest and most enthu-
siastic house to start house runs, had our first one on the 18th of September, Monday. We
all started it off with only one round around the school and everyone did pretty decent. The
distance and number of house runs gradually increased throughout the next few weeks and
months until the actual day. From a few rounds the school, the track and to the actual route;
everyone was training hard and pushing ourselves beyond our limits, Irinah was in it
together.15th of November marks our last house run for the school year.

Actual cross country that fell on the 21st of September was the day everyone couldn’t wait
to get it over with; hearts jumping to our throats, nervousness building in the air, ready to
burst out like a cork from a bottle of champagne. Meanwhile, our dear former deputy house
captain, Kamilia, had sent in an audio note with her words of encouragement that warmed
our hearts and motivated us even harder to give our all. Before the race, we warmed up
together to ensure that our body muscles is heated up and prepared for the run. The junior’s
race was carried out first, followed by seniors. Each and everyone of us ran our lungs out
and did not give up until upon reaching the finishing line. On the other hand, Irinians, espe-
cially the ones outside of Irinah’s water station, were supporting one another all the way
which portrayed the very strong house spirit that we always have in us.

As for the results, Irinah had once again proudly been crowned champions for the senior
category. On the contrary, the junior girls lost to Alia by a whisker to our dismay, which was
only 0.7points away. What a bummer! However, cross country has certainly brought us
closer and memories created, bonds strengthened. Regardless of the results, every single
one of us certainly ran as one, with pride.
