CRICKET CHAMPIONS
Unrivalled first season
Our Year 8 boys achieved great success in their first cricket season.
The team, passionately represented by Healy S, Aryan S, Sam B, Jack M,
Fynn O, Bruno B, Joe M, Evan M and Carlos V bowled their way through a
tough field of opponents.
Although faced with some strong opposition in The Chester Catholic High and
Blacon High schools, our boys ran out victorious in both meetings with each
school, retiring from their campaign undefeated!
Well done boys!
ATHLETICS
Storming to victory
This year proved to be another proud moment for Queen’s Park High School
athletics team as we competed at the district athletics competitions in Deeside.
Introducing Year 7 and Year 8 to their first taste of high school competition,
they confidently competed in a range of new disciplines in track and field and
came up against some stiff competition. It was not without success however
and we had some great individual performances: Alice N in Year 8 won the
800m, Millie W in Year 7 came 2nd in the 100m, Bruno B in Year 8 gained 3rd
in the high jump, and both Katie GJ and Kristiya in Year 7 came 3rd in the
javelin.
It was at the Year 9 and Year 10 event where we observed our greatest
success with a phenomenal performance by Rodrigo T in Year 9 which earned
him 1st place in the 100m boys race. As a result he was selected to represent
Chester and District at the Cheshire Championships at Ellesmere Port Sports
Village.
Similar success was shared amongst Year 10, with Rafael D finishing 3rd in
the high jump , Keira O and Evie H - 2nd in shot put, Murphy S - 2nd in javelin
and Keir G - 2nd in the 400m. Lewis P stormed to victory in the100m winning
1st place. Lewis, Rafael and Keira went on to represent Chester and District
and compete at the Cheshire Championships, where Keira came a very
respectable 5th place and Lewis won so was subsequently selected to
represent Cheshire at the Mason trophy in Stoke.
Amazing results! Well done to all involved!
