Year 7 Athletics – String of Victories

Our Year 7 boys and girls shone in the recent County Athletics Finals against fierce competition from the other nine schools. The girls recorded a string of individual victories to secure the title well clear of the rest. Many congratulations indeed to all on the team, and particularly gold medallists Joanne G in 200m (B) and Discus (A), Poppy F 300m (A), Amy G 800m (A) and Javelin (A), Sarah B 800m (B), Emma H, high jump (A) and 300m(B), Sophie G hurdles (B), Harriet P discus (B), Maud P shot (A) and the B relay team. The boys did nearly as well, making it into the top half of their table. For them the highlights were golds for Nathan G 800m (A), George R 800m (B), Oliver J in shot just ahead of Harry R out of the total field of twenty to win first place for A and B string, likewise Alex W-S and Brendon B in discus taking A and B golds, and Daniel N and Oliver B completing the throwing clean sweep in javelin A and B.
