RICHMOND SCHOOL RUN AWAY WITH FIVE AREA CROSS COUNTRY TROPHIES!

43 Richmond School students from Years 7 to Year 11 travelled to Northallerton recently to compete in the Area Cross Country Team Championships. 

The torrential rain provided ideal traditional cross country running conditions that suited our hardy athletes perfectly! 

Richmond achieved some superb results, both as individuals and as teams, winning five of the eight trophies:

Year 7 girls, Year 9 girls, Year 10/11 girls, Year 9 boys and Year 10/11 boys were all Area Champions. A dominant display!

Notable individual achievements included Henry Wright (Year 11) 1st, Lily-Mae McCafferty (Year 10) 1st, Tomas Hoole (Year 9) 2nd, Wilf Lamb (Year 8) 2nd, Connie Wilford (Year 7) 2nd and Winter Roberts (Year 9) 3rd.

Ms Johnson, Assistant Headteacher, said: “It was so good to see our students supporting each other and delivering excellent performances in difficult conditions – we were all soaked to the skin!”

Well done to all Richmond athletes for showing such determination and teamwork and for performing so brilliantly in such challenging conditions! Thanks also to Ms Johnson and Mr. Randall for organising the trip.
