It's been another momentous year for athletics here at Greswold.  After impressive performances at the Cross Country event in October and Sportshall Athletics Area Final (2nd place) in March, Greswold were at it again at today's Borough Sports' at Tudor Grange track.

Borough Sports' is an outdoor athletics event which brings together all the primary schools from South Solihull. Each of the chosen 24 pupils (12 boys and 12 girls) have to do a 75m sprint or a 600m run, a Standing Triple Jump or a traditional Long Jump and a soft javelin or shot put throw.  Four additional pupils then take part in boys and girls baton relays.

Our notable successes included:

Gold (Esme) and Silver (Heidi) in the girls' 75m sprint

Gold (Heidi) and Bronze (Gabrille) in the girls' Standing Triple Jump

Bronze (Esme) in the girls' Long Jump

Bronze (Paola) in the girls' Javelin

Silver (Esme, Heidi, Nikita and Zahra) in the girls' baton relay

Bronze (James, Billy, James, Isaac) in the boys' baton relay

Gold (Isaac) in the boys' Standing Triple Jump

Gold (Billy) in the boys' Long Jump

Overall, Greswold finished the day in a very respectful 3rd place behind Solihull School and Dorridge.  Well done to the all the pupils who represented school so well and special thanks to Mrs Foster and Mrs Bagnall for attending the event.
