Temasek Polytechnic, Wednesday, March 24, 2010 - The 51st National Inter-School Cross-Country Championships was held on a hot and sunny day filled with action, excitement, jubilation and disappointment. While there were the winners who blitzed the course, there were the others who simply were out to complete the course. Of course, apart from the action on the course, there was cheering in the stands as well. Here is a picture story of their day.
