Netball: Girls' Pre-Season Training for selected pupils at King's, finishes 5:00pm
Unfortunately due to the deluge of rain on Thursday and Friday the King’s Bruton Athletics Meet was cancelled but that didn’t stop the competitive spirit of our athletes, writes Pip Atkinson-Kennedy, Director of Sport.
As a replacement, King's held our own mini decathlon up on the Hippisley Astro. Ten teams were selected with girls and boys from all the year groups competing in ten events to achieve points for their team. Superb team spirit was demonstrated, coaching, encouraging, inspiring and leading their team to achieve their best! The finale was a relay race, which proved incredibly competitive and resulted in the overall victors winning conclusively. Congratulations to Tom's team of: Lulu, Millie, Toby, Rowan, and Hector. A Twitter video clip from the event can be watched below.

Five King’s Bruton athletes also competed this weekend at the Somerset County Combined Events Championships held at Millfield School. Harriet competed over two days in a Hepthalon, whereas Matt & Rian competed over the two days in an octathlon. On Sunday, Tilly & Kitty competed in a pentathlon. After a long and cold weekend we had some amazing results and potentially three county athletes! Harriet was 4th overall in Somerset, Rian was also 4th, with Matt achieving a well deserved 3rd and bronze medal place. Kitty finished her pentathlon with a season's best in the high jump and Tilly ran a brilliant 800m achieving a personal best. My congratulations to all involved!
