Inter-House Athletics Finals

Date: Wednesday 24 June 2009

There was hard-fought competition in the Inter-House Athletics Finals last Friday afternoon (throwing events) and Saturday morning (running and jumping events). Athletes in every event stretched themselves to achieve their best performance and spectators were often moved by the sheer effort and determination of those taking part. There’s nothing quite like witnessing your own child straining to achieve their very best.

House points were awarded for the finishing position of every athlete in each race and there were bonus points if the runner beat their House record. Becket House was the overall victor of the morning but it is worth noting that the standard of athletics was very high indeed, with a large number of new House records and seven new School records set.

Congratulations to Junha Hwang on winning the Victrix Ludorum and George Gibbons on winning the Victor Ludorum.
