Proud to be part of

Success at Sportshall Athletics Competition!

Our Y7 athletics team put in an amazing performance at Merton Schools Year 7 Sportshall Athletics Competition on Thursday 23rd January. 

6 schools took part with 8 teams across both boy and girl categories with a total of 51 athletes representing their schools.

Many thanks to Raynes Park High School for hosting and to their 21 sports leaders for supporting the event with such focussed officiating of the field stations and timing of track lanes as well as encouragement for the competitors.

Athletes set their best field event efforts in the standing long jump, standing triple jump, vertical jump, shot put and speed bounce before taking to the track in the 4x1 and 8x2 length relays as well as the individual 2, 4, and 6 length races. Scores are tallied using the official Eveque Sportshall Event Centre which enables automatic calculation of all team scores. All Sportshall Athletics resources can be found via https://www.sportshall.org/ - for your information if hosting these activities in your schools. 

The final results are as follows:

Yr 7 Boys

1 St Mark's 101

2 Wimbledon College 95

3 Rutlish 90

4 Raynes Park 68

Yr 7 Girls

We look forward to the Yr 8 event to follow later this year.
