Track and Field Cup

Last Wednesday, 10 May 2023, four teams set off to Bury St Edmunds to compete in the Suffolk Round of the Athletics Track and Field Cup. The weather was very kind and there was sunshine instead of the rain that had been predicted and expected which always makes for a better experience.

During the competition a team of thirteen to fifteen students have to cover all events between them, doing two events each (one track, one field). Points are scored for their distances and times. Junior boys and Junior girls teams are a mix of Year 7 and Year 8 students, and Inter boys and Inter girls teams are a mix of Year 9 and Year 10 students.

All of the Woodbridge teams did very well, with our Junior girls winning, our Junior boys and the Inter girls coming in second place and the Inter boys coming in fourth place. The Junior girls will automatically go through to the next regional round and will wait to hear if either of the second placed teams scored high enough to qualify.

Top scorers of the day were Oser, Romilly, Georgia and and Ollie.
