Davenant Sport and Health

This was a large event for Year 7 and Year 8 pupils from many schools throughout the county. The best placed team was our Year 7 boys team which finished 11th out of 41 schools and F Machine was the first home for the Davenant boys in 46th place, closely followed by T Adetona in 56th and T Nicholls in 65th which are good achievements considering there were 212 individual par cipants. The Year 7 Girls highest finisher was L Murray and D Arnold finished in 28th place out of 197 for Year 8 Boys; I Butler Davis was the highest ranked in the Year 8 girls team. It was a tough compe on and all Davenant students did extremely well, it should be noted that for most of the Year 7 this was their first experience of such a large scale compe ve race.

L Norden and H Stockill ran for Essex County in the inter‐coun es schools cross country championships on Saturday 18th March. L Norden finished in 54th place out of 300 plus par cipants and was the 3rd placed Essex County runner; H Stockhill finished 12 seconds behind in 112th place. Well done to both boys.
