Gloucestershire English Schools Athletics

On Monday 14th May the Junior (Years 7 & 8) and Intermediate (Years 9 & 10) athletics teams competed in the first round of the English Schools Athletics Track and Field Cup Competition at The Prince of Wales Stadium. The four teams competed in both track and field events against a wide variety of schools from across Gloucestershire.

It was impressive to see individual athletes battle it out against tough opposition. Each athlete was tasked to achieve their best distance, height or time from their two events which were converted into a points score. The points are all added together to give each school an overall total.

After all the track and field events the Junior Boys and Girls along with the Intermediate Boys were all crowned Gloucestershire Champions and the Intermediate Girls finished a respectable third.
