District Cross Country Success

Our students achieved great success at the District Cross Country Championships at the Royal Masonic School on Monday 14^th November, when both Year 7 boys and girls won first place in the competition, and Year 8 students achieved second place! Well done to Year 7 students Scarlett Gammell and Charles Dagger who both achieved second place in their races.

The Year 9 boys and girls both finished runners up with Charlie Woollett finishing second in the boys' race. St Clement Danes students made a great effort at the competition, with full teams also being entered at senior level, resulting in both boys' and girls' teams achieving third place.

This success follows on from last week, when Year 8 and 10 boys' and girls' teams, and Year 11 boys competed at cross country. Well done to Year 8 student Grace Hucknall who won first place in the Year 8 race, and also to the Year 10 boys, who were team winners. Year 10 student Tom Minns achieved third place, and the girls’ team gained a very close second to Haberdashers’ Aske’s School for Girls.

Head of PE Mr Birkett said “This was one of the best results for a number of years and we were delighted to see such a great effort from all our teams. The students finishing in the top 10 will now be entered into the County Cross Country Championships at Westminster Lodge, St Albans in February.”

Well done to all students on their success, and for making such a commendable effort!
