King’s see Success at ESSA Track and Field Cup 2022

On Tuesday 10^th May, King’s Athletics had a fantastic afternoon at Round 1 of the English Schools Athletic Association (ESSA) Track and Field Cup, where our Junior Girls, Junior Boys, Inter Girls and Inter Boys all competed.

This is a unique event where every member of the team has to compete in both one track event and one field event, which adds an extra dimension to the competition, particularly when it comes to the relays.

Throughout the event there were many individual outstanding performances, with everyone giving their best and several pupils achieving personal bests, along with some phenomenal results. Pupils have worked so hard in training and it is fantastic to see this paying off with fantastic results on the track or in the field.
