Cotswold Athletics 2019
We had a brilliant time competing in the annual Cotswold Athletics Festival in Cheltenham.
Cotswold Athletics Competition @ The Prince of Wales Stadium, Cheltenham - Saturday, 22nd June 2019
Following the disappointment of the Tewkesbury Athletics competition being cancelled, it was wonderful to be able to take an extremely enthusiastic team over to the Prince of Wales Stadium in Cheltenham to participate in this year’s Cotswold Athletics Championships. Alongside schools from far and wide across the county, Tirlebrook competed in what was the 24th anniversary of the event. Competitors from Highnam, Stratton (near Cirencester), St. Lawrence (near Lechlade), Tewkesbury C. of E., Woodchester (near Stroud) and of course Tirlebrook gave it their very best shot in a variety of sprint and long distance races, shuttle and baton relays, and throwing and jumping field events. Tirlebrook experienced great success in a number of events, but it was the determination and positive attitude on display that was most impressive. This was typified by William who, despite being injured, remained at the competition throughout the morning to cheer his teammates on. Overall winners of events included Silas in the Y5/Y6 boys’ 1000m and Y6 boys’ 400m, Zoe in the Y5 girls’ 200m, Tilly in the Y4 girls’ 50m, Isobel in the Y5 girls’ 75m, Hattie, Zoe, Isobel and Leah in the Y5 girls’ 4 x 100m baton relay, Hattie, Isobel, Edward and Freddie in the Y5 mixed 4 x 100m baton relay and Owen, Aaron, Finlay and Silas in the Y5 & Y6 Boys 4 x 200m baton relay. Tirlebrook went on to finish in 4th position out of the 6 competing schools, scoring 99 points on what was a terrific sporting morning of fun, friendship and competition. Well done everyone!
