Indoor Athletics Championship
Students from Years 7-10 travelled to Picketts Lock to compete in the Lea Valley indoor Athletics Championship on Monday 20th Jan.
There were a number of individual and team successes throughout the day in the track and field events:
– Matthew (Year 9) finished 3rd in the junior boys high jump competition
– Annie (Year 8) finished 4th in a year 8/9 combined long jump competition
– Savannah (Year 7) crossed the line in 2nd place and had a strong performance in her first race for the school in the 200m
Nia (Year 7) left onlookers in awe of her performance in the minor girls 60m race. Nia finished 1st by a considerable margin and broke the Championship record that had stood since 2015. The new championship record is 7.9 seconds!
The Year 7 relay team (Savannah, Nia, Destiny & Helena) continued the success at the end of the day with a very strong performance in the 4x200m relay, crossing the line ahead of the competition in fine fashion.
We now look forward to the summer athletics events where students will have more opportunities to showcase their talents.
