Wednesday 28th April saw the beginning of the athletics season. The Under 15s (Years 8 and 9) took part in the Hampshire Track Knock Out Cup hosted at The Toynbee School. In total seven teams took part, with the top two teams progressing through to the next round. The weather didn't suggest it was summer but we managed to dodge the odd rain shower!

The Henry Beaufort School boys team was made up of Louis Power, Dan Thomas, Max O Mara, Will Baldwin, Andrew Wilson, Doug Conroy and Lucas Lyne, who acheived some great results and a fair few wins.

There were some exceptional performances;

Lucas Lyne 1st 800m - a race

Doug Conroy 1st 800m - b race

Louis Power 3rd 100m - a race

Will Baldwin 1st 100m - b race

Dan Thomas 1st 200m & 300m - a race

Andrew Wilson 1st 300m - b race
 

It was then the girls team - Hannah Reed, Molly Wood, Annabelle Eccarius, Georgia Allen, Alicia a Hill, Saskia Servini and Armiee Akopobrie, who provided some more amazing results.

Alicia hill 1st 800m and 2nd 200m - a race

Annabelle Eccarius 1st 800m - b race

Molly wood 2nd 100m - a race

Hannah Reed  3rd 1500m - a race

Saskia  Servini 2nd 1500m - b race

It was a great afternoon with some brilliant performances. Well done, especially to the Year 8 pupils who were competing against pupils in Year 9.

Overall the boys finished 2nd and the girls finished 1st. A great achievement, meaning that both teams progress through to the next round. Well done!
