Senior Sports Day

This year’s Sports Day was a fiercely fought competition between the green, blue, red and yellow vests representing School, Smith, Wickett and Vinter Houses.

Having had to postpone Sports Day from the original date, due to high winds, we had our fingers crossed for the reserve date; luck was on our side.

Celebrating participation and team-work, the contestants took part enthusiastically and supported each other throughout the day; the winning team always presents the highest number of entrants, so running in the C string 100m or throwing the C string shot, for example, is just as important.

There were some excellent individual performances throughout the day: Milli Y broke the 4^th/5^th Year girls’ discus record with 26.73m whilst Izzie L ran a magnificent 1500m in 5 minutes 02.21s, breaking the record held by international runner Katie K.

The scores for the houses were very close but in the end Smith House pulled away with some fine performances in the relays.

Final positions:

1^st Place               Smith House       1717.5pts
2^nd Place              School House     1602pts
3^rd Place               Vinter House      1569.5pts
4^th Place               Wickett House  1569pts

Well done Smith House!
