HMS athletes competed at the County Cross Country Championships on Tuesday. Our runners were competing for Tynedale at this event after qualifying before Christmas.
On the day, the race conditions were ideal for fast running. This competition sees athletes aiming to qualify to represent Northumberland in future events. The Year 7 boys were first to run. Arthur C had a storming run to finish an excellent 5th. Dylan W just missed out on qualification, finishing 17th. Our final runner was Aiden M, who made an impressive debut at this event.
The Year 7 girls raced next. Martha P had a fantastic race to finish in an impressive 3rd place. Isabelle C and Jess C supported with excellent performances, 5th and 8th respectively. Claudia M put in a fantastic performance in this event, finishing in 21st place – just missing out on County selection. Monty C was our only representative in the Junior races. Despite racing boys in Y9, Monty ran very well to finish a superb 12th place – a superb achievement!
Well done to all of our HMS athletes. It was brilliant to see the hard work and dedication paying off with impressive performances. We wish our athletes well as they go on to represent Northumberland at the Inter County Championship. This event will be held at Sedburgh School in Cumbria.
