Southam success at Town Championships
Caroline Bradburn

The afternoon started off well on the track with brilliant performances in the hurdles races. Issie Fairhurst winning her race comfortably in 13.8sec and Owen De'Souza finishing 3rd in his very competitive field.

From these races the girls completed their field events while the boys took to the track. Stars on the track for the boys were Tom Parkin Neal in the year 7 boys 100 and 200 winning both events with ease - pulling away from the field. Charlie Knight had a strong race to finish 2nd in the year 8 300m and Owen managed one place better in his 800m to finish second in a time of 2.23.

The girls were busy in the field with star performances coming from Lydia Levett in the high jump winning with a jump of 1.30m and Izzy Alexander throwing 2m further than any other competitor in the discus with a throw of 18.75m. Sarah Costa finished in 2nd place in the Javelin behind a very strong thrower from Kings High.

Boys performed well in the field to match their track success with Archie Coats winning the high jump with 1.25m. Lennon Cramp also had success in the high jump coming second with a jump of 1.42m.

The girls were able to shine on the track seeing Ruby Wood winning her 100m comfortably in . An extremely tough and fast 1500m race saw Elspeth Unitt win the year 7 race convincingly only getting beaten by a year 8.

The final races were the relays, seeing some brilliant performances with the Yr 7 Girls winning their race with Ruby W bringing home the baton. The yr 8 Girls narrowly finished 2nd to Kings high who eventually knocked them into 2nd place and the yr 7 Boys replicated this by finishing 2nd in their race too.

Overall the standings were:

Yr 7 Girls - 3rd

Yr 8 Girls - 2nd by 1 point

Yr 7 Boys - 4th

Yr 8 Boys - 5th

Well done everyone,

Miss Warman, Miss Evans, Mr Macgibbon and Mr Eaton
