Sportshall Athletics Further Success

Last month we reported that the Year 8 boys’ indoor athletics team won the Wandsworth Sportshall Athletics event. This meant that on Thursday 9th February they went on to represent Wandsworth at the London regional Sportshall Athletics event at Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre. The level of competition at the event was much higher. The boys competed in a range of athletics events such as standing long jump, triple jump, vertical jump, shotput, speed bounce, sprints and relays. Our Year 8 boys ended up winning, meaning they have qualified for the London finals on Tuesday 21st March. This is a fantastic achievement! Well done to all the athletes as their hard work at the extra training sessions paid off. We look forward to seeing how they get on against the best teams in London next month.
