On Wednesday 3rd July, four St Michael's athletes competed in the National Athletics Finals held at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. Many of the country's top young athletes were vying to become English Champions.

Finlay S in Year 6 qualified for the U12 Boys' Long Jump Final after becoming Kent Champion with a distance of 4.73m which was a new St Michael’s school record. Finlay came 5th in the National Final with a distance of 4.10m. The winning distance for the day was 4.40m; a great effort by Finlay!

Amelia B in Year 6 competed in the U12 800m race, running a personal best but missing out on breaking the school record by just 1 second. Amelia ran her heart out and was totally exhausted; we could not have asked for any more.

Elizabeth A in Year 6 competed in the U12 1500m race and ran superbly, giving everything. She not only beat her PB by 12 seconds but also smashed her previously held school record by 12 seconds.

Matilda M in Year 8 had a busy morning, combining the U14 75m Hurdles Heats and Final with the U14 Long Jump. She ran a spectacular time in the heats, qualifying for the Final with the fastest time. In the Final, she was narrowly beaten into 2nd place, receiving a silver medal for her efforts. In the Long Jump competition she achieved a jump of 4.80m, earning another silver medal.

All of the pupils were fantastic and we are so proud of their efforts.
