Cross Country

The popularity of Cross Country at John Lyon is at a record high, with over 35 pupils representing the School at Borough and County level across the Spring Term. Following their success at the School’s Inter-House Cross Country in October, the top 6 finishers from each age group were selected to represent the School at the Harrow Borough Cross Country Championships, with Sammy (U6PWM), Ritchie (11KS), Alex (L6SJA), James (U6RS), Felix (L6MEW), Billy (9AHJ), Marcus (9BG) and Jayden (7JHA) all qualifying to represent Harrow at the Middlesex Cross Country Championships. At the County Championships, Ritchie (11KS) went on to demonstrate his immense potential further by qualifying as a reserve for the English Schools Cross Country later this year. Meanwhile, all our other competitors finished in the top 30 places – a tremendous effort from all concerned. With the popularity of Cross Country still on the rise – and following our pupils’ excellent performances at the Radley Relays and the South East Schools Cross Country Championships – the School has been pleased to expand the Cross Country programme further through attendance at Harrow School’s “Ten Schools” event. n
