Recently, 14 Wickersley students were selected to represent Rotherham at the South Yorkshire Schools Athletics Championships, held at the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster, where they competed against some of the county’s top young athletes.
Despite challenging weather conditions throughout the day, all of our students performed exceptionally well, demonstrating determination, resilience, and excellent sportsmanship. There were some fantastic performances across both track and field events, with many athletes achieving outstanding results while representing the school with pride.
Highlights from the day included:
- Finlay – Gold, Year 7 Shot Put
- Bradley – Gold, Junior Boys 800m
- Matilda – Gold, Intermediate Girls 800m
- Ellen – Double Gold, Intermediate Girls Javelin and Discus
- Bethany – Silver, Senior Girls 400m Hurdles and Bronze, 400m
- Jake – Gold, Senior Boys 800m
A special congratulations goes to Jake, Matilda, and Bethany, who have now been selected to represent South Yorkshire at the English Schools Championships on 10th and 11th July. We are incredibly proud of all our athletes and wish Jake, Matilda, and Bethany the very best of luck in the next stage of the competition.
