After winning the County round of the English Schools Cup, Sponne’s Inter girls (Yr9 and 10) team took part in the regional round of the competition against the eleven other qualifying schools from an eight County area.
The competition was understandably extremely challenging but the girls did themselves proud. The race started at a frenetic pace with E H in the second group behind a small leading pack. E H held this position throughout and eventually finished in an outstanding 7th position. The second counter for Sponne was A H, who produced her best ever run, to finish in 9th position after a strong second lap. The team was completed by G C, E H and J P, all of whom ran well against high level opposition.
The team finished in 4th position overall – the best ever performance by a team from Sponne – a huge well done to all!
