English Schools Athletics Track and Field Competition
Congratulations to the Junior and Inter students who took part in the Schools Cup Athletics competition on Friday 16 May.
Girls
With combined teams of Years 7 and 8 and Years 9 and 10 girls, they were all looking forward to a day of competing against a variety of schools in the region and hoping to score some good points in their events which would then culminate in some good team scores.
Junior Girls
The Junior girls had a successful start in the track events and at half time were in 3rd place. However, having struggled with some of the field events, their finishing position was 5th out of 9 schools but they did have an impressive team points score of 303 points. As a team, the girls worked hard to score as many points as possible and should be very proud of their achievements, as we have just found out that they have reached a B Regional Final on Wednesday 18 June at Winchester. Very well done to you all and thank you! Outstanding performances include:
Penny Prowse who in 100m with a time of 12.9 scored 30 points and in her Long Jump achieved a distance of 4m 47 which gave her 20 points – outstanding!
Avvi Hadadi 300m with a time of 47.8 scoring 17 points and in her Long Jump achieved 4m 12 and 16 points.
Tilly Clare 1500m with a time of 5. 44 scoring 22points and in her Javelin threw 18.02 m scoring 17 points
Jessie McCurtin 1500m with a time of 5.39 scoring 23 points and in her High Jump 1.29 scoring 17 points
Summer Wrzesinski 800m with a time of 2.54 scoring 19 points.
Intermediate Girls
The Intermediate girls had a little more difficulty in getting a team sorted due to injury but showed their strength of character and resilience when they were prepared to compete not necessarily in their favourite events!! Thank you so much! As with the Junior Girls the Inter girls finished in 5th position but had an impressive final point score of 324 points. Again, the girls should be very proud of their achievements, as they too have qualified for the Regional B Final on Wednesday 18 June at Winchester. Very well done to you all and thank you for being so accommodating with your events!
Outstanding performances include:
Anna Hall 1500m with a time of 5.22 scoring 23 points and in her Javelin threw a PB of 22. 60m scoring 17 points – excellent performances!
Sofia Hughes 1500m with a time of 5.53 scoring 17 points
Eva Mahoney 200m with a time of 29.2 scoring 16 points and in her shot threw 7.15 scoring 13 points
Chloe Yorston 300m with a time of 47.4 scoring 18 points and in her High Jump 1.32 scoring 15 points
A great day of athletics for you all which you should be very proud of. Good luck for the Regional Finals in June!
