Cannock and District Cross-Country results

Cross-country season is back and just before the half term holiday we took a strong team to take part in two Cannock and District competitions. More than 50 pupils from Years 7-13 took part in one or both of the events, which is a brilliant effort.

The first competition took place at King Edwards in Lichfield. We had some fantastic individual and team performances which included individual silver for Freya in the Year 8/9 girls race and individual bronze for Emilia in the Year 7 girls race. A big shout out to George and Imogen who were two of only three Sixth Formers from the whole of the district to take part in the event. In total the team recorded twelve top 10 finishes with Leo and Billy finishing 6th and 7th in the Year 7 boys race. Alex and Ollie finished in 4th and 6th in the Year 8/9 boys race and Daisy finished in 4th place in the Year 10/11 girls race.

In the team events, the Year 8/9 boys and the Year 7 boys teams both finished in 3rd place and the Year 8/9 girls and the Year 10/11 girls teams both finished in a strong 2nd place.

The second event took place a week later at Chase Terrace and we had a slightly smaller team, but equally as strong. Again, similar to the competition at King Edwards, we had some brilliant performances. Freya, Alex and Leo all improved on their placing from the previous week, with Freya winning the Year 8/9 girls race and Leo N and Alex F both making it onto the podium and finishing in 3rd position. With regards to the team events, the Year 7 boys, the Year 8/9 boys and the Year 8/9 girls all finished in 3rd position.

This meant that overall, across both of the district competitions, LCS finished in second place out of ten schools which is brilliant, beating larger schools like Chase Terrace, Cheslyn Hay and Cannock Chase High. A great start to the cross-country season and more to come.
