Twelve boys and girls from Years 5 and 6 took part in the Birtley Athletics Club Junior Challenge which took place on Saturday 7th March.
We were competing against not only other primary schools, we were running against athletic clubs and harriers. St. Mary's children were given excellent feedback on their good manners, their desire to do their best, and how smart we looked! The girls over and under relay team were given spot prizes for continuing their race after one of their team had a nasty fall. Andrew also received a prize for his sitting throw event.
The girls came a very credible 8th and the boys came an outstanding 3rd! Well done all.
