Senior Wessex Athletics Championships 2009 Wednesday 10th June at The Bournemouth Athletics Centre
We took a very able set of athletes to Bournemouth for these championships and had a great day. There were many of our athletes who recorded personal bests and made the finals of their respective eventsand three, Tom Johnson, Josh Blosse and Saxon Coop performed well enough to get into the Wessex team for the Nationals at The Alexander Stadium in Birmingham on Monday 29th June. Some of the photos show the fine efforts that our team put into the event. My apologies to those who are not depicted here - I just couldn't get around to see everyone on the track or in the field! This was the first time we had competed at Wessex and we all agreed that the competition was of a very high standard. 30 schools were at the Wessex Regionals and so the results our pupils achieved were exceptional. The pick of our performers were: Tom Johnson with 1st place in the U14 boys 1500m final by around 200 meters. Josh Blosse with 1st place in U14 boys Triple Jump and 3rd in the U14 200m final. Saxon Coop with 2nd place and a National qualifying height in the U14 boys high jump and 2nd place in the U14 boys javelin. Charlie Waters with 2nd place in the U12 boys 1500m final. Charlotte Earwaker with 3rd place in the U13 girls 1500m final. Ashleigh Bishop with 3rd in the U14 girls high jump. Charlotte Jobson with 4th in the U14 girls 1500m final. Adam Robinson with 4th in the U12 boys 800m final. Ella Higham with 4th in the U14 girls 800m final. Noah Walton with 4th in the U12 shot. Clare Slattery with 6th in the U14 girls 300m final.
Well done to the whole team.
Eagle House Girls' Athletics Meeting Thursday 4th June 2009 Contgratulations - Eagle House Win!
A great afternoon of athletics. Eagle House welcomed four schools, who competed in three age-groups, in both track and field events. The result was very much in the balance up until the last event where the Eagle House girls took victory in the U14 relay to win. Results 1st Eagle House 2nd Marleston House 3rd Yateley Manor 4th St Andrew's Pangbourne It was a great team effort but special mention goes to those who were placed in events.
Eagle House Track Meeting 14th May 2009 Firstly, we would like to thank all the schools for competing and the parents for their fantastic support.
The rain held off and we were able to have a great afternoon of athletics. Special congratulations go to the Girls Team who took away the shield at the end of the afternoon. Well done.
The boys competed very well and there were a good deal of excellent performances. Our track events so far this season are not quite as strong as our field events, however, our efforts at this meeting show that there is a lot of potential for the future.
Athletics Meeting at Caldicott 7th May 2009 6 schools were represented at Caldicott for their annual track and field meeting. We were well represented with athletes from Years 4 to 8. The afternoon, although rather chilly, was a great success and there were many highlights from our athletes.
We finished third, the best result at this meeting for a while. There were some excellent performances on the track and in the field events. The highlight was winning 3 out of 5 long jump competitions. The 1500 metres also proved an exciting race at both U12 and U14 level.
Eagle House athletes had a good season last year and it has certainly started well in 2009. The strength of the field athletes is good to see - javelin, high jump, triple jump and shot were all succesful events. The track runners also made a good impression with some fine times being recorded. The winning long jump trio This early meeting gives athletes a guide to the standard they need to reach when it comes to qualifying for the Nationals later in the summer. Overall a great meeting that our athletes can feel very pleased with. Next up is our track event next week. 6 Schools particpated in each race: Harry Waters in the U10 Long Jump
