A number of our talented students competed alongside schools from across Durham in the County Championships, held at Barnard Castle School last Saturday. Conditions for all races were particularly challenging with students tackling the snow, ice and mud - but this didn’t stop our runners!
Josh Mawer, our Year 11 sports captain, finished 9th in the intermediate boys race and has been selected for the County Durham cross country team. Will Wood, also in Year 11, qualified for the same race finishing a creditable 26th place. Our younger students were also in action gaining their first experience of higher level cross country. In the junior race, sisters Tia and Alisha Bell competed together finishing in 42nd (Tia) and 52nd (Alisha) place. Mia Dowson finished 42nd in the girls race and George Rabbett-Smith came 44th in the boys race. George Peacock also took part in the boys race but sadly had to withdraw due to an injury.
Well done to all students that took part!
