A mighty 11 records broken on Sports Day

Our athletes set a remarkable 11 new records at our annual Sports Day at the end of May, including huge improvements on three records.

An astonishing 1 minute 50 seconds was knocked off the intermediate girls’ 1,500m record which had stood since 2012 while 17 seconds were chipped off the Junior Girls 1,500m best set in 2015.

In field events, a hugely impressive 3.14m was added to the intermediate boys’ shot put record which was set just 12 months previously.
