Level 2 Indoor Athletics Finals

On Thursday the 3rd of March, our boys and girls teams competed at the St Albans Schools Indoor Athletics finals after qualifying from our heat back in January.

The boys and girls competed both on the track, in races such as obstacle relay, over under relay, 4 x 1 relay and 6 lap paarluff, and in field events, such as triple jump, javelin and speed bounce.

After qualifying the the 6th best score, from the heats, of 6 teams our children knew to do well they had to work hard and in the intervening months. They had given up multiple lunchtimes to practice with myself and Mrs Astley at their events and on their baton changes and it clearly worked and they regularly won races and excelled at the field events.

when the placing was announced the girls improved to 3rd and the boys 2nd, of the 6 teams competing. Overall with girls and boys combined the team scored a massive 184 points and came second in the whole of St Albans. A massive well done must go to the children for their brilliant performance and also a big thank you to all the parents who helped with transport there and back to school.
