U15 Boys’ Worcestershire County Multi Events Championships 2018 at Bromsgrove School

28 May 2018

On Wednesday 2nd May, Bromsgrove School hosted the County Multi-Athletics Event Championships at The Ryland Centre.

The weather at times was more than challenging for the athletes, however, despite this, two Bromsgrovians in particular had a fantastic tussle for first place in the U15 age group; Louis Upton (Year 8) and Oliver Brown (Lower 4th).

Both boys were neck and neck in all five events; long jump, shot put, high jump, 80m hurdles and the 800 metres. When all the points had been tallied, Louis just pipped Oliver to the gold medal by only fifty points, with Oliver taking silver.

Gareth Jones, Head of Boys’ PE & Games said “both of these Bromsgrove students deserve enormous praise for battling with the elements and still putting in great performances. For these athletes to be both the gold and silver medal winners throughout the County deserves huge congratulations”.
