Over the past few weeks, there have been a numerous amount of athletic competitions held for track and field events. Our first competition was on the 23rd of May where all of our school’s top athletes entered into the competition for a chance to represent St Patrick’s on the big stage. We had so many winners in such a variety of events (relays, sprints, triple jumps, throwing events and more), this meant that we had plenty of pupils through to the regional finals on June 12th to face a tougher competition.

The day arrived and our athletes were off to Middlesbrough Sports Village to compete against the victors from other schools in the region. After a fierce competition we were left with two competitors, Jackie Lee and Maisie Wright, who won both of their events and had been selected to compete in the County Finals – unbelievable. With a throw of almost 7 metres, Maisie ended up placing 3rd for the county in the chest push. a fantastic achievement Maisie. Well done to all of the other athletes who gave such a fantastic effort in the earlier rounds.
