Great Participation
'Sports Day 2022 - our most successful yet!' Over the two days, approximately 850 students competed in the KS4 and KS3 athletics events. The PE department were thrilled to see such high numbers of students wanting to get involved, step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves in a range of different events. The students showed sheer determination to succeed and for a lot of them it was their first time at experiencing the nerves of competition and being graceful in success and defeat. The students were so supportive of one another, cheering each other on throughout the day showing great sportsmanship. We saw some outstanding performances from a number of students but a special mention goes to Ben Linekar (Y9) who broke the 300m record clocking a time of 43.32sec beating the record set in 2014.
Our performers of the day were:
Y7 Boy: Logan Formby (Gold 100m, Gold 200m)
Y7 Girl: Florence Holmes (Gold 800m, Gold 200m, Gold Shot Put)
Y8 Boy: Max Dawson (Gold Discus, Gold Shot Put, Gold Javelin)
Y8 Girl: Jenny Hall (Gold 800m, Gold 300m, Gold Javelin)
Y9 Boy: Ben Linekar (Gold 800m, New record breaker for 300m)
Y9 Girl: Isobel Wathen (Gold 100m, Gold Long Jump)
Our Year 10 Heptathlon results were as follows:
Boys:
Alfie Slate - 3rd (1320 points)
Matt Hallums - 2nd (1464 points)
Latham Roberts - 1st (1539 points)
Girls:

Students were in teams for Sports Day and their performances contributed to accumulating points for their team. The overall team winners on the day were the BLUE team with 602 points! Well done if you were representing the blue team!!!
A special thank you to Mr Reed for presenting the students with their winning medals and trophies. We are sad to see Mr Reed leave us this summer and hope he enjoys a well-deserved retirement. Thank you for inspiring and supporting so many Winston students over the years. We will miss you Mr Reed.
Well done to everyone who participated in Sports day this year, we hope to see you all, and more next summer!
