National Prep Schools Track and Field Championships – July 2024

Students returned to the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham yesterday, competing at the National Prep Schools Track and Field Championships. It was so inspiring to be able to compete where the 2022 Commonwealth games were held and it certainly spurred our athletes on!
