Juniors Through to the Track and Field Cup Regionals!

The Junior Athletics squad spent the day up at K2 last Tuesday, to compete in the County round of the Track and Field Cup.

We had 12 students from Years 7 and 8 competing in one track and one field event each. They all performed extremely well, and special mention goes to Poppy, for a new PB in Long Jump, and Andrea, who knocked 30 seconds off her 800m PB!

As a result, we received the very exciting news that they have now qualified for the regional round, which takes place after half term.

Huge congratulations to the entire squad – this is a brilliant achievement!

A busy week for Athletics was rounded off with the final Diamond League event at K2. Despite only competing 24 hours before, our Year 9s and 10s were raring to go again! In the Diamond League, athletes can compete in as many events as they wish, and it was great to see so many Roedean athletes competing for the first time and giving new events a go.

Romy and Izzy performed extremely well in Triple Jump, Megs did well in Long Jump, and Kelly ran well in the 100m, as well as many, many more impressive performances.

Thank you to you all for your hard work in Athletics this half of term – it is paying off! I cannot wait to see what the next half of the season brings.
