It was success all round for Senior Girls' pupils at the
regional qualifying event of the British Schools' Biathlon
competition, held in Liverpool on Sunday 8th
November.
Girls in Year 7 completed a 500m run and 50m swimming event, and
Year 8, 9 and 10 girls completed a 1000m run and 100m swim, in
order to gain a place in the national final. Year 9 pupil Lydia
Walker automatically secured her place in the final by putting in
an excellent performance to gain 1st place overall in
her age group. Two Year 8 girls were also presented with trophies
for ranking 1st-6th place individually in their year group - Aimee
Smith gained 3rd place and Katie Nightingale gained
5th place.
Where numbers allowed, each year was also split into teams, and
the Year 8 team did especially well to receive winners medals
for finishing in 1st place in the team competition.
The girls will now wait to hear if they have qualified, and will
be joining Lydia for the British Schools' Biathlon National
finals in Aldershot in March.
