Athletics Update

Teddies athletes continue their run of superb performances.

At the Achilles Relays, yet another school record was broken in the senior boys’ 4 x 100m with a time of 45s. The previous record of 45.4s was set at the Radley Relays in 2008 by Henry Streatfield, Archie Burt, Schu Ichimura and Alex Dzigora. Congratulations to the senior girls’ sprint team who came 4th (out of 8) in the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200, and to the inter and senior boys’ 4 x 200 teams who narrowly missed out on a place in their respective finals, coming 8th and 7th in overall times.
