Gold Medallists and Record Breakers

Beatrice E and Casielle M attended the London Schools’ Athletics Association finals on Tuesday 13th June at Mile End Stadium. Representing the school and the borough, which in itself is a remarkable achievement, they both picked up gold medals by winning their respective events of 800m and 100m.

Bea was super composed and in control throughout the race, maintaining excellent form on the shoulder of the pace setter. Approaching the last bend she powered through to win comfortably in an excellent time. This makes Bea the fastest 800m Year 7 girl in London!! Well done Bea - we are very proud of you.

Casielle’s performance was phenomenal and broke the London Schools’ Athletics Year 7 Girl 100m record. This record had stood for many years at 12.9 seconds. Casielle smashed the record in 12.6 seconds! Not only does this make her the fastest Year 7 girl in London, she is now the fastest Year 7 girl in London EVER. We are so proud of both girls.
