York Crowned Athletics Champions on Sports Day 2015!

It was that time of year again last Friday (10th July) where hundreds of Arthur Terry students descended on Royal Sutton Coldfield Athletics Club (Wyndley) to compete for their houses in a range of track and field events on sports day!

2014 saw York take the crown of sports day champions, so the weight of expectation was on them once again to deliver. 

Boys and girls from Years 7, 8 and 9 competed on the day and represented their house in their chosen events, with some students filling their individual quota and taking part in three events!

Track Events: 100m, 200m, 800m, pursuit relay, 4x100m relay and obstacle relay. 

Field Events: Shot putt, vortex throw, long jump and accuracy throw.

FINAL STANDINGS! (points totals to be added shortly). 

1st place - York - 603 pts

2nd place - Gloucester - 549 pts

3rd place - Hereford - 519 pts

4th place - Lincoln - 502 pts

Below you can see some pictures from the day! Well done to York on the successful defence of your sports day crown!
