Cross Country
Twelve runners competed in the Attingham Spring relays. The Junior Boys team, composed mostly of Lancasters, put in a hard fought effort, against strong local schools who were mainly composed of 4th Formers, they finished in an encouraging 8th place. A thank you goes to Thomas for stepping in at the last minute.
The mixed relay performed exceptionally well finishing in 4th place, Jake put the team in a good position on the first leg, backed up by strong runs from Amelia, Jack and Jacob, which ensured the team were always in the top six. Chloe ran a storming final leg to bring the team home. Her efforts were rewarded with the second fastest girls time of the day, beaten only by a GB international runner.
