There was     1     story about a high school cross-country race in Texas in 2016.

Cross-country     2     (be) actually the name of an event where the runners compete on the ground instead     3     running in a circle on a flat surface. Some cross-country courses send runners around a waterway, through the woods or up and down hills.

The high school cross-country race     4     (take) place in Texas. It     5     (name) the Gingerbread Jamboree (姜饼聚会) at that time. About 20 high schools sent runners there. The course was five kilometers long.

A camera set up next to a wide mud pit (泥坑) recorded some     6     (amaze) scenes. The slow-motion video showed one runner taking off like a high-jumper, taking hold of his knees and then landing on the mud pit. But that was not all. Just seconds     7     (late), while other runners managed     8     (stay) clean and dry, another runner jumped and dived chest-first into the water.

About 1 million people have watched the video since it came out on Facebook. One thousand people left     9     (comment) on the Facebook post (帖子)，    10     is called "Dear Cross Country. . . Welcome Back".
