Sporting Triumph:

Congratulations to Erin L, who competed at the IAPS Athletics National Finals yesterday. Erin took part in the high jump and the 200m, having won the regional competitions two weeks ago. Erin had a spectacular day, finishing fifth overall in the high jump in the morning and then third overall in the 200m, achieving the bronze medal with a personal best time of 29.30 seconds.
This is a fantastic achievement for a school our size and all credit must go to Erin; she has been a truly outstanding sports performer in her time at Hawford!
