Cross country competitions

Cross country is becoming increasingly popular at John Lyon, with a group of over 30 runners competing across School, Borough and County level competitions throughout the academic year. Following their success at the School’s Inter-House cross country at Harrow School alongside Quainton Hall pupils in September, the top four finishers from each Senior age group were selected to represent the School at the Harrow “Ten Schools” Cross Country Championships, with Billy Cooke performing exceptionally well in the U15 category. Winners included Jayden (7JHA) in the Year 7 boys category, Lena (7CJC) in the Year 7 girls category, Syrus (9SRP) in the junior boys category, Jiya (8JOC) in the junior girls category, Tio (11MRF) in the colts category and Sammy (U6PWM) in the Sixth Form category. With the Harrow Borough and Middlesex County Championships fast approaching and further expansion of the cross country programme to include the Radley Relays and the South-East England Championships, there are certainly some exciting opportunities for our athletics team during the spring term.n
