New!  Exclusive Video of the Sports Festival

 We did really Well-esley

The annual athletics competition was held on Tuesday 23rd June, at the Wellesley Grounds in Great Yarmouth. A selection of up and coming athletes were selected prior to the event, who have been working on their skills and abilities since April.

6 schools attended this meeting; each competing to be the champions by the end of the event: Caister, Oriel, Great Yarmouth, Lynn Grove, Cliff Park, and of course, Flegg. The conditions for the day, despite being next to the coast, were perfect for running, and this aided the competitors to concentrate on getting as many PBs as possible. All athletes should be praised for the work they put in on the day, including Joe Youngs on the 200m and Ben Church who won two events: the 800m and the 1500m.

Mr Young, who has worked with the competitors for many months, commented that the Year 11s should also be mentioned for their work on helping the younger athletes. “The Year 11s worked hard to make sure people did not miss their races.”

Overall, Flegg had a really successful day, coming second overall to Cliff Park.

Mrs Mayes also enjoyed the event. “It was a lovely day, pupils were well behaved, and there was a good spirit.”

“There were also lots of people with red faces, even though suncream was on offer!”
