Girls' Cross-Country team 11th in the Country

Posted: 02/12/2014

On Saturday 29th November, Bromsgrove's Junior Girls' Cross-Country team travelled to Newquay for the English Schools National Cross Country Finals.

The team consisted of three Year 8 girls: Siena Horton, Kitty Luscombe and Orla Walker, and three Year 7 girls Daisy Clements, Grace Dieppe and Ariana Jones. It was perfect cross country weather, with the sun shining and the ground soft but not muddy.

The girls exceeded all expectations as they came in 35th (Orka Walker), 45th (Grace Dieppe), 63rd (Kitty Luscombe), 65th (Siena Horton), 69th (Daisy Clements) and 88th (Ariana Jones). This gave Bromsgrove a total of 208 points and a fantastic overall position of 11th in the Country. A massive achievement as this is the third best ever team finish for the junior girls behind 5th place in 2007 and 2012.

Well done to everyone involved, especially Mr Skipp who puts in such a great deal of time and effort in training them all.
