Mr Hu stood at the starting line. All the runners got ready to run.

"Ready? Go!" Mr Hu shouted, and the boys started to run. Of course, everyone began to shout very loudly.

"Go, go, go!" they shouted.

On the first lap, Class 3 were in front. Li Lei ran much faster than the other boys. At the end of the first lap, Li Lei quickly passed the stick on to Jim. Jim ran very fast, but Yu Yan from Class 1 ran faster. He began to catch up with Jim.

At the end of the second lap, Yu Yan and Jim were neck and neck. They both passed on their sticks at the same time. Class 3 was as fast as Class 1. They were both in first place!

"Come on!" shouted everyone, very loudly. On the third lap, the Class 3 and Class 1 runners both ran very fast. They were still neck and neck! But the other runners were not far behind. Then the Class 2 runner dropped his stick on the ground when he was passing it on to the fourth runner. A moment later, the Class 4 runner fell and hurt his leg, but he quickly got up and went on running.

The last lap! Wu Peng from Class 1 ran as fast as Lin Tao from Class 3. They were still neck and neck. But Jiang Honglin from Class 2 was running very fast. He began to catch up with the others.

"Come on!" shouted everyone. "Run! Run!"

Now Wu Peng from Class 1 was in front! Lin Tao didn't run as fast as Wu Peng, but he was not far behind. Jiang Honglin was catching up fast, too, but not fast enough. "Come on, Wu Peng!" shouted the Class 1 students. "Oh! No!"

Wu dropped his stick! He stopped to get it and of course fell behind. Lin Tao ran past him. He was first past the finishing line. Class 3 were the winners!

"Hooray!" shouted Class 3. "Well done, everyone! Congratulations, Lin Tao!"
