Girls perform well in the Regional Final

The Under 13 girls team performed well in their Region B final today. Although they have not qualified for the National Final, they did finish second of the eight teams with 334 points, only 16 points behind the winning team.
Adi Milton was our top points scorer winning hurdles scoring 26 points and jumping 4m21cm in long jump.
Anna Hardisty jumped a new PB in high jump (1m38cm) and Holly Brando won discus with a throw over 21m. Georgina Bagge ran a new PB in the 1500m whilst Olivia Almond came second in the 200m. The relay team finished second with Millie Leavold on the first leg, one of two year sevens in the team, the other being Ruby Self.
It is a number of years since a Beaumont team reached a Regional Final and, as always, they were a credit to the school.

Squad: Olivia Almond, Adi Milton, Molly Rogan, Morgan Jeggo, Anna Hardisty, Holly Brando Holahan, Letitia Hatton, Krystal Clarke, Georgina Bagge, Olivia Scrimgeour, Millie Leavold, Ruby Self

Good performances at the District Champs and in the County League

Congratulations to the following pupils who won their events today to become District Champions, and particularly the two athletes who won two events:

Year 7: Will Sharp (Long Jump); Alex Powdrell (Pole Vault); Ruby Self (100m and Long Jump)

Year 8: Lewis Montgomery moore (Discus); Holly Brando Holahan (Discus)

Year 9: Naomi Baker (Long Jump)

Year 10: Holly Seglah (200m and Javelin)

The Year 7 girls team and Year 9 girls team both finished in third place, well done to everyone who competed today.

The Year 8 Girls Team have qualified for the County League Final in the fist week of July after scoring 47 points in their final County League match on Monday. This is the first time since 2006 a team has reached a County Final, an excellent achievement.
They also have qualified for the Regional Final of the Track and Field Cup at Woodside Stadium next Thursday and need to check the noticeboard for details.

Thank you to all of the athletes who have completed consistently over the whole season and those in certain age groups who continued to compete when occasionally let down by members of their team. The teams that have been most successful are those who have trained and fielded full teams and therefore deserve the success for their hard work and commitment.

County League athletics - Monday 11th June

There is a County League Athletics match on Monday 11th June, Gosling Sports Park, 3.25 - 7.00pm. There will be a coach there and back and there will be a number of year 9 athletes competing due to several year 10 pupils being unavailable. Please check the PE noticeboard for details.

Girls win 1st Round of the Track and Field Cup

Congratulations to the Under 13 Girls Team who won the 1st Round of the National Track and Field Cup on Friday at Watford Woodside Stadium. The 12 girls beat teams from HABS girls, Princess Helena College, Haileybury College, Watford Grammar School for Girls, Loreto College and Queens School with the nearest team 22 points behind us. Our points score of 305 points is a good total and is hopefully enough for us to make a regional final later this term. Adi Milton was our top points scorer with an excellent 42 points from 2 events (all results are posted on the year 8 results  page). Well done to the whole team for an excellent performance. 

20 year old record broken!

Congratulations to Ruby Self in year 7 who has broken the year 7 girls 20 year old 100m record. The record of 13.6 was set in 1992 by Elena Dundjerovic and Ruby broke the record on Thursday, running 13.48 at Westminster Lodge. It is an outstanding achievement to break such a long standing record set by one of Beaumont's strongest athletes. Well done Ruby!

County League Round 1

Tonight we hosted our first County League match of the season at a cold and damp Westminster Lodge. The year 10 age groups both finished 5th but the athletes who did compete worked extremely hard. It is a real shame that a number of athletes could not compete tonight but Holly, Tom, Dino, Sophie, Will, Niamh and Aisha represented the school well and hopefully will have a full team to compete in next week at Gosling. Both teams finished fifth (team and individual stats are posted on the year 10 page)

The year 8 age groups performed extremely well, with the boys finishing second, only 3.5points off first, and the girls first, 11points ahead of the next team. The boys won 5 events out of 13 with the girls winning 7 out of 11 events (see the year 8 page for individual stats).

Hosting an event takes a large number of staff and all of the athletes were well organised, helpful and worked extremely hard in all of their events. Thanks to all of you who did compete tonight, and the parents who came to support, lets hope it is warmer for next weeks meeting!   

Seasons fixtures

The fixtures for this season have now been added to the blog. The Under 13 girls have their Indoor Regional final on Thursday 19th April, practice Wednesday lunchtime in the gym.
There is a practice the first Tuesday back and if Carl and Rowen can see me on Tuesday breaktime or lunch to select the Senior Team for the 2nd May that would be great.
Heres to a successful season!
