It was a cloudy and cold day, but our students dug deep and fought hard against State and Private Schools from across Sussex. There were notable performances from Gugu S (Junior Boys), who ran the 200m in a phenomenal 25.6 seconds, as well as jumping 4m79 in the Long Jump. Tera B (Junior Girls) ran the 1500m in 5:23:5 and 5:23.7 Sophie S (Intermediate Girls) ran 27.9 seconds in the Inter Girls 200m. Roman N and Rylan P ran their 100m heats in 12.0 seconds and 12.2 seconds respectively, for the Intermediate Boys, and Sonny T – also Intermediate Boys - ran the 300m in 39.4 seconds.
Our Ark Athletics Scholars also represented us, with exceptional performances in the 1500m from Amelia S (Junior Girls), who ran in 5:23:5 and Flo T, who ran in 5:16:3 (Inter Girls 1500m) and Daisy W who ran the 800m (Inter Girls) in 2:39:0.
The determination and grit shown by our students saw our Junior Boys, Junior Girls and Intermediate Boys finish in 4th Place, and our Intermediate Girls, finish in 1st Place.
Our Intermediate Girls have qualified for the Regional Finals. We now wait to see if any of our other teams go through on points.
What a wonderful start to the Athletics Season. Well done Team Alexandra!
