CRHS Students make Island Rounders Squad

Kiera Cooper, Megan Roberts and Anna Munro were all selected to travel to Preston at the weekend to take part in an away International Rounders Fixture against the England U14 squad.  

After travelling to the impressive grounds of the University of Central Lancashire's Sports Arena, the girls were first on in a warm up game against Durham High School.  This helped to calm the nerves and get their game heads on.  Kiera took 5 fantastic catches to reduce their

time by half and ultimately, the girls came away with a victory score of 10-7.5.

With an air of confidence surrounding them, the girls went into their second game against England feeling good.  It was a new experience for them playing in an all-out innings but going into bat first, they quickly racked up a score of 6.5.  The aim was to keep the England score as low as possible but some questionable decision making in the latter stages of the innings allowed England to score a half time total of 14 - quite a challenge to bring this one back.

In the second innings England were switched on, quickly catching out 4 of the team.  The remaining players battled on to build an overall score of 10.5 but it wasn't enough to ask England to bat again. At this point, England had won the game.

It was a fantastic experience for all students involved and special congratulations must go to Kiera Cooper who was also voted Most Valuable Player by the England Board.

Well done!

Records fall at Intermediate TSB Athletics Event

The weather was fantastic for this year's Intermediate TSB Athletics meet at the NSC.  A combination of our Year 9 & 10 students were out in force competing to retain the championship titles.

Charlie Miller has smashed the Y10 Discus record which has stood since 1991 at 33.32.  Charlie's new record will now stand at an impressive 35.22m.  In the 200m Danielle Akitt recorded a time of 26.9 seconds to break the school record that previously stood at 27.6 and was set in 2003!  Also, in the High Jump event, Sarah Slater-Kinghorn beat the school record by 6cm, taking it to an impressive 1.47m.  Again, the previous record of 1.41m was set in 1995 which proves how impressive her jumping has become.

Many outstanding performances on the day ensured our points total continued to accumulate but there were many athletes from a host of other secondary schools looking in impressive form.

It was to be a CRHS day however, with the Joan Powell Memorial Cup, awarded to the athlete who accumulates the most points at the meet, being won jointly by two CRHS students.  Ellie Gilson (Hurdles and  Long Jump) and Sarah Slater-Kinghorn (Hurdles and High Jump) both scored an impressive 45points - congratulations to both of you!

In the overall standings, the girls ran away with a comfortable victory, scoring over 70 points more than their nearest rivals.  Ellie Gilson and Danielle Akitt are featured below collecting the girls trophy.

In the boys competition, it came down to the wire on points.  A strong St Ninians side battled hard all afternoon and the results were going to be tight.  In the end, the CRHS boys pulled it off, beating their competitors by a mere 8 points overall to secure the trophy for another year.  Jacob Callow is pictured below, collecting the boys shield.

Well done to all athletes, and particularly to those athletes who will now qualify for the Merseyside Athletics Meeting later this summer!
