Well done to George in Y9 who is now the South of England Athletic Association 800m Indoor Champion!
The event took place last weekend, where George won his heat with the fastest time, and 3 hours later achieved a new PB of 2.06.75 in the final.
We took 10 athletes over to the Sussex Schools Cross-country Championships at Waterhall, Brighton.
It was a fresh afternoon with a beautiful clear blue sky, but the course was very testing around the hilly Waterhall setting. The girls, Eden, Hannah, Ella and Sylvie set off first in the junior girls' event of nearly 250 runners.
In the 2nd race of the day, we had 7 boys take part in the 4300m junior boys event. George, in Year 9, finished in 2nd place, hot on the heels of the race’s winner, this was a super result only two days after he was crowned South of England 800m Indoor Champion on the weekend.
There were some other notable finishes in this event of 350 runners, Ruben, also in Year 9, finished in 50 place, whilst Gino, in Year 8, was close behind in 59th and Ollie, also in Year 7, finished the race in a respectable 131st, to give the boys a team score of 242.
January 16th our Year 7 athletics team travelled to Angmering to the Southern Area Partnership Indoor Athletics Championships. Taking part in a range of events including, speed bounce, standing high jump, long jump, and triple jump. Well done to all our athletes last night.
Joshua competed as an individual for NSEA last weekend Arena Eventing, and he really enjoyed it.
The equestrian team trains on a Wednesday at Hascombe, new members are always welcome!
