Cross Country Champions

On Monday 18th October the Chester & District Cross Country Championships took place at Christleton High School and 2 Abbey Gate College pupils were victorious in their races. 

Year 7 pupil Jessica Thomas won the Year 7 (Minors) race by an extremely convincing margin and her stamina is undoubtedly helped by the fact that she swims and horse rides every day, as well as competing in Tetrathon and Pentathlon competitions.  Jessica has in fact been chosen to represent Wales in the Junior Regional Tetrathon Finals in Milton Keynes later this year.
The Junior Boys race was won by Year 8 pupil William Parsons.  In a field of 33 boys, William outpaced the other competitors in a sprint for the line and his achievement is even more spectacular given that he is only in Year 8 and was competing in a race for Year s 8 & 9.
The College would like to congratulate both Jessica and William and wish them all the best in their future competitons.

Congratulations also go to Sally Stanford who finished 4th in the Inter Girls Race at the same meeting.
