The Junior and Intermediate Athletics teams from Burgess Hill School for Girls are shown to be in fantastic form this season after winning two Athletics events this past week. First was the Sussex Round of the Track and Field Cup, held at the K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley on Tuesday 15th May. With sixteen schools entered in the competition it was always going to be a tough day.
Every competitor must compete in two events, one track and one field. In very wet conditions, both the Junior and Intermediate teams performed very well, with personal bests being set in running, jumping and throwing. The Junior team finished on a massive 355 points in 1st place, 53 points ahead of 2nd place Sackville. The Intermediate team finished on 326 points, 43 points ahead of Sackville again. Both teams now advance to the Regional 'A' finals, to be held in June.
The following day was the Mid-Sussex Trials held at Broadbridge Heath in Horsham, where again, the girls were in flying form, setting personal bests and breaking school records in both the track and field events. Congratulations go to the eleven girls who have been selected to represent Mid-Sussex at the Sussex Schools’ Championships in June.
Overall, the girls finished in 1st place, eight points ahead of Millais, to take the Championship.
