ATHLETICS What happened to global warming? This season was spoilt by the weather, certainly through the first half of the summer term. The Senior Foundation match did take place and although there was a good turn-out, our performance didn’t match former years. In the Sixth Form team, as in previous years, Oliver Paulin won both the 800m and 1500m, Joe Cullen was successful at 200m, Jacob Bruten won his 400m race and 2nd place went to Wes Blackhurst (400m), Will Stenson (Shot) and Samson Gahir (Discus). In the 800m, Oliver finished 9 seconds before 2nd place and in the 1500m he led from the start ending with 4.39.02 only 17 seconds ahead of the rest! Oliver has been one of the strongest athletes at the school for many years. He has also achieved considerable success outside school, more recently winning the Warwickshire U20 County Championships for the 5000m. We look forward to hearing of his future athletics career. Year 11 had wins with Cameron Steel (Long Jump) and Lewis Evans (High Jump) with second places by Cameron (100m and 200m) Lewis (400m) Edward Connolly (Hurdles and 1500m) and the relay team. Overall results were, Aston 267, KES 260, Camp Hill 240 and KE Stratford 108. The next two matches were cancelled due to rain which was devastating as it would have been the first opportunity for Year 7 to compete. The English Schools’ Track and Field Cup is still a most enjoyable contest where each athlete competes in 2 events and scores points for both performances. These points are added together for the whole team. Again the weather was poor for the first round and a number of events were cancelled. Despite this, the teams did superbly to finish 1st at both age groups and so qualified for the Midlands Regional A final. Best intermediate individual scores came from Chris Marshall 30 points, Dan Charlesworth 17 points in just one event (300m) and Shreyas Annadate 20 points also in one event (Discus). The Junior team had some outstanding results with Louis Cooke 47 points, (which is possibly the highest individual score since 2007 when the team reached the national final) and Leon Zhang 35 points. Sadly the Regional round occurred on a teacher day and we were unable to put forward our strongest teams. However, there were superb performances by Louis and Leon again but also Judah Daniels, Tommy Ransbotyn and Joe Clark. Highest scores in the intermediates were by Nick Surr and Dan Hill. We did manage to squeeze in a Year 10 match with Solihull, Warwick and KE Stratford. Tom Mansfield was our most notable success with first in the 1500m and although we beat Solihull we eventually came third. The Junior Foundation competition is split into two matches; years 9 and 10 followed by years 7 and 8. In the first half of this competition, the Year 9 team were outstanding. Finishing first were Kamil Khan (Hurdles), Alex Byrne (1500m) and Dylan Rodgers (800m) and second place to Kamil (Triple Jump). The rest of the team performed so well that the team placed second beating KE Stratford, Aston and Sheldon Heath. Year 10 had a similar result placing 2nd. Well done to the usual ones but also Johannes Beckett, Zulfikar Khan, Mason Jolley, Isara Mahalekam, Dan Higgins, Dan Hill, Liam Garside and Ruairi Lynch. In the second half of the competition, both Year 8 and 7 competed superbly but sadly we have not received the results from KES. I can recall that the Year 8 team looked as if they would be strong contenders for a win and there were some excellent results from Year 7. Well done to future stars such as Richard Amoshe, Ross Evans, Dylan Rees, Abi Nirantharakumar, Aadam Audhali, Andrew Lim, Joe Thompson, Miles Balderson, Fintan Hogan, Joel Foster, Noah Lloyd, Gabriel Millet, Pavan Rana, Raj Tiwana, Usmaan Nadeem and Yusof Elsherbiny. A small number of athletes were selected for the West Birmingham team in the County Championships. Notable performances at Intermediate age group came from Cameron Steel 5.80m in Long Jump and Tom Mansfield 4m 42s in 1500m; at Junior age group Alex Byrne with 4m 49s in 1500m and at Under 14 age group Louis Cooke 12.3 in 100m and Leon Zhang 26.7 in 200m. Final congratulations, however, must go to all athletes who volunteered to fill in events at the last minute. Without their courage, there would not be the competitive spirit, fun and overall success. Yet again, I would like to encourage any potential athletes to look towards joining local clubs, where they can receive expert coaching together with quality competition. GH
