It was the turn of the Year 8 Athletics team to travel to Walsall Academy for the Walsall schools track and field athletics competition.

Across the team, they competed in field events including long jump, high jump, shot put and javelin and track events including 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 800m and a team relay.

As we’ve seen so far at this competition with other year groups, the year 8 team did not disappoint demonstrating incredible sportsmanship, determination to succeed and willingness to represent the academy with pride.

Well done to all students involved, especially:
