Five Medals for Woodbridge at Suffolk Schools Cross Country Trial 2025
On Thursday 16 January Woodbridge School were proud hosts of the final Suffolk Schools Cross Country trial for this winter. The top 100 athletes in Suffolk in each age group had qualified to compete at this trial, and with the weather playing its part we were treated to a spectacular day of racing.
We congratulate every athlete and offer a massive thank you to marshals, officials, staff and parents that assisted in the hosting of the event.
Following the trial, Suffolk Schools will announce teams of 16 in each age group to compete at Anglian Schools which is to be hosted by Woodbridge School, on behalf of Suffolk Schools, on Saturday 1 February. After the February race, and including those race results, Suffolk Schools will announce reduced teams of eight (only for Juniors, Inters and Seniors – so Year 8 and above) to compete at English Schools in Sussex in March.
Thursday was a very successful day for Woodbridge School athletes with well over 30 competing across the age groups.
Our athletes won five individual medals, and with the Suffolk team to be announced this week we expect around 20 athletes to be in contention for selection, with another five or so expected to be on short reserve lists.
Well done to every athlete and good luck to those racing at Anglian Schools.
