It’s been an action-packed few weeks for Truro School’s athletes, with outstanding performances across athletics, tennis, fencing, rounders, cricket, and triathlon. From personal bests on the track to national selections and regional victories, our pupils have shown incredible dedication, talent, and team spirit. Here are just some of the brilliant recent achievements from our pupils.

Billy E in the 3rd Year competed at the South West Athletics Schools Championships, held at Exeter Arena over the weekend. Representing Cornwall, Billy ran a personal best of 11.79 seconds in the 100m heats, placing 4th, and followed it up with another PB of 23.92 seconds in the 200m, securing a fantastic 3rd place. He will now go on to compete in the English Schools selection event in July, a brilliant achievement!

The following week, she placed 2nd in the Madrid U17 Regional individual event and helped her team become Madrid Regional Champions. Most impressively, Clara qualified for the Spanish Absolute Championship on May 31st, becoming the youngest competitor in the entire competition.
