Athletics 2018
The 2018 season has proven to be one of the most successful

individual point of view.
To have 14 students represent the school in National
finals – 12 lower school students in the National Prep
School Athletics Competition and 2 Students qualified for
the prestigious English Schools Athletics Finals which is a
fantastic achievement from them (with Georgia Rothwell
qualifying for 1500m for the fourth consecutive year).

U13 CROSS
COUNTRY
Second Year pupil Lucas Walton
has been named U13 Humberside
Cross Country Champion 2018
after winning a tough 3k race in the
annual Humberside Cross Country
Championships.
Lucas, who represented Goole
Youth Athletics Club in the race at
Costello Park and stadium, Hull, will
now represent Humberside at the
upcoming Inter County Cross Country
Championships in Loughborough in
March.
He said: “I was really pleased to win
because I’d been ill and hadn’t trained
fully for a long time. It was a really close
finish but I was determined to beat the
(1st place)
(1st place)
(1st place)
(1st place)
lad I was running against at the finish
line because I’ve competed against him
a few times before.
“I wanted to win it so much I just found
the extra energy to push forward at the
end. There was only about a second in
it but it felt great to win.”
David Byas said: “Lucas is a talented
all-rounder who represents the school at
athletics and has also been a successful
addition to our clay pigeon shooting
team. His cross country success is
much-deserved recognition for all the
hard work he puts in.”
In November, Lucas also made his
debut in the Pocklington School boys’
clay pigeon shooting team, helping it
to win the Intermediate category in the
Yorkshire Schools Open Challenge,
held near Snaith, East Yorkshire.
