King Edward VI Foundation Athletics Competition
On Thursday 17th June, the Year 7 and Year 8 Athletics team competed in the school’s first Athletics fixture for almost two years. Athletes competed in a range of track and field events at the Minor Foundation match, hosted by King Edward School, Birmingham. The stand out performers in the Year 7 team were David Akanihu (7 Nelson) who finished 1st in three events (300m, Hurdles and Long Jump) and Litem-Roy Mcintyre-Smith (7 Henry), who claimed 1st place in both the 100m and 200m. The Year 7 4 x 100m Relay produced the best race of the evening with King Edward VI Handsworth Boys taking home the gold medal in the final leg ahead of King Edward VI Five Ways, winning in an impressive time! In the Year 8 Team, Michael Ogunlola (8 Henry) picked up a respectable 3rd place in the 800m.
Congratulations to all the boys who competed.
