Huge congratulations to the 25 Sherfield pupils who competed at the National Schools Laser Run Championships in North Wales at the weekend. We have returned with two National Champions – Annie (Year 4) and Cressida (Year 5), five silver medals – Isabel (Year 4) Blake (Year 5), Jesse (Year 6), Dylan (Year 7) and Caiden (Year 8) and two bronze medals – Chloe (Year 5) and Hudson (Year 6). They also won three team categories in the Year 3 and 4 girls (Annie, Cressida and Chloe), Year 5 and 6 boys (Dylan, Douglas and Jesse) and the Year 7 and 8 boys (Caiden, Rhys and Caspar).
Pupils then competed in the British Open Laser Run Championships in the afternoon, representing their club, with four pupils crowned National Champions – Annie (Year 4), Blake (Year 5), Hudson (Year 6) and Caiden (Year 8), two silver medallists – Isabel (Year 4) and Dylan (Year 7) and two bronze medallists – Sophie (Year 3) and Declan (Year 6) . They also picked up five National Team Champion titles in the Under 9 girls (Annie, Isabel and Sophie), Under 9 boys (Blake, Joshua and Alexander), Under 11 girls (Bethy), Under 11 boys (Hudson, Declan and Hugh) and Under 13 boys (Caiden and Dylan)
It was a very well organised competition and pupils performed exceptionally well, two competitions in a day is tough going! A special mention to Blake who finished his Under 9s race (as national champion!) and then agreed to go straight back into the call room to fill in for an Under 11 that wasn’t able to make the competition and so raced less than 30 minutes later again meaning three races in less than two hours. A true team spirit there!
