Priory ISA Midland Cross-Country Champions!

The Year 7 & 8 boys became the only ever 2nd Priory ISA Midland Champions on Wednesday 25th Januray, by winning the under 14 cross-country competition at Bedstone College. The team made up of captain Platini Te Kamdem, Oliver Fluke, Harry Fluke, Reece Fackrell, Felix Price, Yusuf Roy and Motheo Pono braved 2 miles of mud, hills, streams and more mud to finish 1st in the team race.

More glory was bestowed on Platini Kamdem who also won the individual race, adding to his 1500m and Long Jump Midland titles. Reece Fackrell and Yusuf Roy finished 9th and 10th and along with Platini will now go on to represent the Midlands in the ISA National Cross-Country Finals. Oliver and Harry Fluke were the next home for Priory, finishing 15th and 19th. Motheo Pono finished 30th despite losing his shoe with a mile to go, but this did not stop "mighty" Motheo would continued to run over stones and through rivers with only one shoe! A great effort which sealed the team title for Priory. Felix Price then finished in a good time which meant that Priory were crowned the Midland Champions!
