Today's Borough Sports' competition, an outdoor athletics event at Norman Green Track at Tudor Grange Sports' Centre, attracted over 20 schools this year, with Greswold being grouped with 7 other large schools.

Each competitor had to participate in a throwing event (Javelin or Shot Putt), jumping event (Standing Triple Jump or running Long Jump) and a running event (75m sprint or 600m) with 8 other pupils making up the final event of the 300m relay.

Despite a heavy 30 minute downpour, the Greswold team, consisting of 12 Y6 boys and 12 Y6 girls, competed admirably against some very tough opposition.  

These were some of the stand out Greswold performances during the day:

Silver medal in Boys' Long Jump

Gold medal in Boys' Shot Putt

Bronze medal in Boys' Long Jump

Bronze medal in Boys' 600m

Gold medal in Boys' Standing Long Jump

Gold medal in Girls' 75m sprint

Silver medal in Boys' 4x75m relay

Bronze medal in Girls' 4x75m relay

2nd - Dorridge

3rd - Greswold
