Athletics

The athletics squad have had a successful season, partaking in five different fixtures at Millfield and Marlborough, as well as sending two athletes (Joshua Schrijver and Clemmie Houlden) to the South-West Schools Championships and one to the English Schools Championships. Unfortunately the Bristol and Avon Schools Championships were not held this year, though competition was strong in our fixtures, enabling students to challenge themselves and continue to set new personal bests alongside many podium position finishes. There were many highlights and the athletes can be proud of how well they represented the College.

The students have also taken part in weekly training sessions at WISE Campus Filton on their competition standard athletics track, which has been used by many great Olympians in the past. They have visited the National Indoor Athletics Centre track in Cardiff, where the squad spent the afternoon using the world-class facilities to help supplement their training programmes.
