Impressive medals haul at Shropshire Athletics Championships

28 pupils attend the Shropshire Schools Athletics Championships held at Telford, Oakengates.

This is a major event in the athletics calendar and is qualifications for the English Schools National Championships.

We came away with a very impressive medal haul – 30 medals! and some outstanding performances. 16 PBs (Personal Bests) were also achieved!

Shropshire Athletics presented a new trophy on the day for Best Performance at the Championships – this is judged on the athlete who gets closest to a National Qualifying time in their age group on the day.

Jack K (PH, III) was presented with the award – a fantastic honour and enormously deserved. Jack is currently ranked 2nd in the UK in the 800m with a time of 1.58.69. To go sub 2 minutes is fantastic achievement – congratulations Jack.

We now look forward to Sunday and the Finals of the Sidney Darwin Dash and Quarter Mile Challenge.
