Six of Eight Team Victories at Anglia Inter Cross Country
The Anglia Inter County Schools Cross Country took place in Northampton last weekend, with 22 of our athletes representing Suffolk. Taking six of the eight team victories, it was an amazing performance from everyone.
Suffolk Schools select teams of 16 across four age groups covering Year 6 to year 13, to compete against Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
It was a fantastic day with our athletes making a major contribution to the Suffolk Schools team that were dominant on the day, and taking six of the eight team victories. This obviously meant Suffolk Schools were crowned Anglian Schools Champions, defending the title they won last year!
Woodbridge School top individual honours went to Year 12’s Henry, who was 2nd in the Senior Boys, taking the individual Silver medal.
Our stand-out team contribution was the Minor Boys (Year 6 and 7) where six of our athletes finished in the top 12 – an amazing performance!
