St Thomas More High School

Borough Athletics 2017

A fantastic team performance saw Tommy More hit their target of 4th place in the Borough Athletics. In the face of stiff competition, we came away with numerous medals and personal bests across all the year groups.   There were gold medals for Jaden Mensah in Year 10 Triple jump, Sam Wheatley for the Year 10 800m, Tom Cozens for Year 8 Javelin, Joseph Edegbe for Year 8 300m, Ciaran Burke for Year 7 Javelin an Effie Ukegheson in Year 7 Shot.

 

The three standout performances though were Afam Ijeh who broke the Year 9 Borough record in the 300m, the Year 9 relay team who won gold in a tough race and Kehinde Ashalou from Year 7 who won two gold medals – the 200m and High Jump. In winning the high jump, he broke the Borough record by 7cm and is one of the best performers for his age in the country this year! A big thank you and well done to all the boys who took part, roll on next year!  PE Department
