Athletics at Witton Park

Last week, our student athletes took part in the Town Athletics at Witton Park and there were some great results and performances.

Senior students took part in a range of events across track and field. Team spirit was high and there was a real sense of togetherness amongst Westholme students as they competed against other local schools in the Blackburn with Darwen area.

Both the girls and boys competed in their year groups and there were some brilliant individual results on the day, including a new district record in the 100m for Caris in Year 9 in an outstanding time of 12.15.

Special mentions must go to event winners and individual district champions:

Year 7: Imi (800m), Grace (100m), Isobel (200m), Girls 4x100m Relay and Finn (1500m).

Year 8: Emily (800m and 100m), Maeve (200m), Clara (Long Jump and High Jump), Girls 4x100m Relay, Charlie (1500m) and Moses (High Jump).

Year 9: Caris (100m and new district record, Long Jump) and Girls 4x100m Relay.

Year 10/11: Will (1500m).

Congratulations to our Year 7 and 8 girls, who finished 1st in their respective year groups. Overall, the Westholme girls finished 2nd out of 10 schools who competed. The boys finished 4th overall out of 10.

Well done to everyone who took part on the day, on what turned out to be a great day of athletics. You can watch a photo montage of the day (made by Miss De Miranda below).
