Cannock & District Athletics Yrs 7-11

1/5/2025 - Years 7 & 8 
School athletics competitions start at the beginning of May and it was the first Cannock and District athletics competition on the 1st of May. This was the first competition for our Year 7 pupils, and the Year 8 pupils were hoping to build on what they had achieved last year and during the cross-country season. These events welcome schools from across the district, from Lichfield, right across to Codsall and Wombourne. As you can see below, we had some brilliant results, which were topped by a total of six first places and fifteen podium places. A great start to this year's athletics season.
