After two gruelling qualifying rounds, which started way back in October, our Y5/6 Sportshall Athletics team travelled to Harvey Hadden today - ready to compete in the grand finals.

 

With this being the first time in many years that Whitemoor had reached the finals of the Y5/6 version of this event, it was fair to say that our athletes were a little nervous. 

 

Thankfully, these nerves soon disappeared and our team went on to compete with unbelievable determination and effort throughout the afternoon's events. Without singling out certain boys or girls, it was in the sprint races where we truly excelled. 

 

As the finals scores were calculated, Whitemoor discovered that Southwark, Old Basford and Milford (just) pipped us to the medals i.e. we finished in 4th place. However, this was still an amazing achievement, especially given some 32 schools entered at the heats stage. Well done again Team Whitemoor!

 

Our Y5/6 Sportshall Athletics finalists consisted of: Natijah L, Kyan N, Shalom-Chris O, Travae R, Alessandro C, Sam W, Tyrai W, Tyler C, Cruz S, Arnav N, Mariah-Lace A, Jaylah C, Christine S, Aliny T, Vina R, Megan H, Inez W, Kuleni S and Ticianny M.
