Congratulations to all of the athletes who competed at the County Champs in Hemel on Saturday.
In the Inter age group Joe Matos ran in the 100m and Holly Seglah in the 200m, both narrowly missing out on final places. Tian Figg finished 6th in the Inter girls Discus, with Naomi Baker (Inter girls 800m) and Josh Clifford (Inter boys 1500m) both running extremely well with Josh finish fourth and Naomi third in a personal best time. Naomi also competed in the long jump, jumping 4m22cm.
The Junior age group saw more excellent results for Beaumont athletes. Shiloh Wallace ran strongly in his heat of the 100m, as did Henry Peachey from year 8 a year out of age. David Etheridge reached the final of the 200m finishing 7th, also year out of age, with Olivia Almond also finishing 7th in the girls Javelin final. Adi Milton also finished 7th in her final of the hurdles, whilst Jacob Bockenhauer jumped a personal best of 10m97cm to finish 5th in triple jump.
 Holly Brando was our first County Champion of the day, winning with a throw of 26m50cm in the Discus, an excellent performance.
In the Pre Junior age group, Eve Harrison ran extremely well to finish 7th in the girls 200m final and also competed in the long jump. Nathan Glasscoe competed in the boys javelin and, although throwing around 23m threw 3 no throws. Callum Hunter finished in the top 6 in long jump, whilst Alex Banathy and Ross Adams both made the final of the 100m and 200m, with Ross finishing 5th in the 100m final and Alex 3rd, a very strong performance.
Emily Anders went one better in the 1500m, finishing second in a time of 5m15s, a really great run.
Ross Adams was our outstanding athlete of the day. As well as reaching two sprint finals, he won the pre junior boys Shot competition and the Discus competition to become a double County Chamion, an outstanding achievement. Not only did he win two competitions but he also broke the County Championships Record with a great throw of 31m95cm. This is also a new school record, breaking a 14 year old record by over  6m!
It was great to see so many Beaumont athletes performing well in such a high level of competition, well done to all of you!
