Indoor athletics

The annual indoor athletics event kicked off with the field events with boys on javelin, shot putt and vertical jump and girls on long jump, triple jump and speed bounce. Each event is a test of strength and power in addition to ambition, determination and resilience. In both Year 7 and 8 teams got off to a good start winning a number of their events setting us up for the track events. The track races were fantastic to watch with the pupils performing superbly.  In Year 7 both the boys and girls teams finished as runners up.  In Year 8 the girls were also narrowly beaten to finish 2nd.  In the Year 8 boys event the team were superb being triumphant in all but one of their races. We saw a tremendous 6 lap run from Logan Davies digging deep when the rest of the field began to tire. Well done to all teams involved.  The Year 8 boys will now progress to the county finals in Blackpool.
