This was a particularly valuable experience for our Year 7s, many of whom were representing the school for the first time. They showed excellent enthusiasm and maturity, and the hope is that they can follow in the footsteps of our current Year 8 team, who secured Norlington's first ever gold in the borough 4x100m relay last summer.
Across the programme of indoor track and field events, the boys delivered strong performances, achieving 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes across a range of disciplines. While final placings are still being confirmed—due to results being taken from combined heats and timings—the team can be confident that they performed exceptionally well.
A particular highlight was the Year 8 relay team, who won their heat by a significant margin. Their dominance on the indoor stage sets a promising tone ahead of the summer athletics season, where we aim to build on last year’s success.
Overall, it was a rewarding experience for the team, and the students should be proud of their effort and achievements. Their enthusiasm made the day both enjoyable and successful, and they represented Norlington with real pride.
Overall, the entire team should be proud of their commitment, sportsmanship, and competitive spirit. They represented Norlington brilliantly, and we look forward to receiving the confirmed results soon.
