Biathlon Success
QE sent representatives to compete in the Northern Region Biathlon Competition at Ampleforth College.
On a very wet day the girls' team of Katherine James, Sarah James, Kirsty Livingstone and Karly Cresser worked hard to win a place in the final and finished third overall. They will now go on to compete in the National Finals.
Phil Moore and Stephen Turnbull did very well individually - Stephen came second and Phil fourth - and they too have won places in the national finals.
Julia Atkinson, Head of PE, said:
"Our students were fantastic. They motivated each other and kept their morale high in the most appalling of conditions. They really do deserve their places in the national finals."
Julia herself also competed in the staff biathlon at Ampleforth. She was the fastest runner and came second in the swim, giving her first place overall - a wonderful achievement.
