Year 7 Sportshall Athletics

7 of our Partnership Secondary schools entered the Year 7 Sportshall Athletics event hosted at Oakhill which was great to see. Year 8 had set a high bar a few weeks ago with some exciting races and competitive field action and this event was no different.
Many of the students were familiar with the event from their time at Primary School but had new disciplines to contend with such as the Paarlauf, 6 lap race and shot put. The standard was exceptional and it was amazing to see there had been plenty of training and practice in preparation for the event. Plenty of friendly and local rivalry between schools was on display as Clitheroe Grammar took home the overall gold for the girls, and an impressive St Christophers team took the gold for the boys. Congratulations to both as well as every school who attended - it was an excellent experience and we're excited for more Secondary competition this term! Thanks to our Sports Leaders from CRGS who were extremely helpful throughout the day and also officiated the Primary School events.
