On Monday our pupils travelled over to Melbourne Stadium for the opening round of the National Schools athletics cup.

The morning’s events quickly got underway and it was clear from the start that our boys were doing way more than holding their own; we in fact dominated many of the track and field events. There were numerous strong performances from the team but special mentions must go to our biggest point winners on the day:
• Jaden Mensah who ran 26.3 seconds for the 200m
• Joe Agbodza from who ran 13.8 seconds in the 80m hurdles
• Herbert Zumbika who ran 40.5 seconds in 300m

There were many notable performances in all areas and it was a strong team performance all round.

The boys delivered event after event throughout the day and the black and white vests were constantly acquiring the top 3 track places. After a nervy wait at the end of the day the results were in, out of the seven schools, with a massive score of 422 points, losing out to the Campion School in Essex by just 23 points!

The final results:
1: Campion School – 445 points.
2: St Thomas More School - 422 points
3: The Eastwood Academy – 410 points
4: St Martins School – 379 points
5: Mayflower School – 367 points
6: Saffron Waldon School- 355 points
7: The King Solomon School – 279 points.

We now wait to see if we have made it to the Regional Finals (top 12 schools)!
Well done all involved! Keep training!!!
