Friday 26th June saw the annual athletics festival at Gateshead stadium with 50 schools competing and Glynwood school performed tremendously well yet again. A total of 20 children took part in a range of track and field events on an extremely wet day in high summer! Everyone took part in a fantastic sporting manner and we were successful in a number of events including the following:
Chayse Martin - Triple jump (gold medal), Relay (Silver medal) and 80m sprint (bronze medal)
Lucy Richardson - Long jump (gold medal), Relay (Silver medal)
Chelsey Smith - Javelin (bronze medal), Relay (Silver medal), 800m long run (bronze medal)
Jessie Cain - Relay (Silver medal)
Caitlin Gaughan - Relay (Silver medal), Cricket ball throw (silver medal)
Lots of other children reached finals and semi finals of their events and a good time was had by all!
Well done to all the athletes!
