On Monday 19 March the Y9 Indoor Athletics Team represented St Edmund’s at the Black Country School Games. This is a prestigious competition and the standard is very high.

The Team had earned their place from their fine performance in the Wolverhampton Schools Section where they finished in the top three. This earned them the right to compete again against other schools from Wolverhampton, and schools from Walsall and Sandwell.

Favour Enoghama, Jamal Morris, Pharrell Thelwell, George Oginga, James Edobor and Dammian Chigovanyika joined Mr Selvey at Aldersley Leisure Village and took part in the running, jumping and throwing events.

As always they represented the academy very well and showed how good and competitive we are. They earned sixth place at the event, which means they are the sixth best Indoor Athletics Team in the Black Country.  Around 40 teams across the Black Country would have entered their sections competitions so to finish sixth overall is fantastic.

Well done.

Mr Selvey (Head of Year 9/Teacher of PE)
