South-West Schools XC Championships
At the Sheldon School in Chippenham, we had fifteen finishers competing for Dorset Schools in the annual South-West Schools’ Cross-Country Championships. With six finishers to score for their team in all eight races, ten of our athletes scored for Dorset (shown as D1, D5 etc. below). The most successful Dorset teams, becoming South-West Champions, were the Minor Girls (Year 7) and the Senior Boys. Ed Bird added to his endurance successes by comfortably winning the latter race. Erin Wells and Emily Parker also finished with the leaders in their races, Erin leading her Dorset team to a 3rd place ranking, while Emily’s team went one better in 2nd.
