Talented College athletes, Grace, Olivia, Marisa and Dami, competed for Warwickshire at the English Schools Athletics Track & Field Championships at the Alexandra Stadium in Birmingham at the start of the summer holidays.
It was a fantastic achievement for these pupils to have been selected for this prestigious national event and to have four pupils reaching the standard was super exciting for us all here at Princethorpe College.
Our young athletes competed in the Hurdles, Mixed Relay, 100m, High Jump and Shot. Grace ran an outstanding race to take the Silver medal in 11.18s in the Inter Girls 80m Hurdles and claimed another Silver as part of the Warwickshire team in the Mixed 4x100m Relay. Marisa won a Silver medal with an outstanding 12.09m throw in the Junior Girls Shot. Dami jumped an incredible 1.59m to finish 6th in the Junior Girls High Jump while Olivia ran 12.57s in the Senior Girls 100m heats.
We are hugely impressed by these pupils' commitment and dedication to their sports and are incredibly proud of them all.
