County Cross Country Championships success for BHGS

Excellent effort from everyone and Hertfordshire team selection for Daniella Skater (9Pa)

On Saturday 1st February, Miss Cameron and Mrs Redpath took 14 pupils ranging from Years 7-10 to participate in the Hertfordshire County Cross Country competition at Westminster Lodge in St Albans.

The girls were absolutely fantastic in (thankfully) good conditions for cross country running and put in some excellent performances.

Year 7 runners- Ella Studholme (7Pa), Libby Porter (7Au), Ruby Kiarii (7Fr), Ruby Sanderson (7Se), Erin Munday (7Se) and Jessica Dunnington (7Au). Year 8 and 9 runners – Olivia Riley(8Fr), Millie Richardson (9Fr), Daniella Skater (9Pa), Amelie Hobbs (9Ha), Amelie Robson (9Ha) and Caitie Reid (8Ha) Year 10 runners – Cayla Du Plessis (10Pa) and Imogen Lightning (10Fr)

The competition included an outstanding performance from Daniella Skater (9Pa) who finished 6th in her age group to automatically qualify for the Hertfordshire Schools team to compete at the English Schools Cross Country competition later in the year.

This is a fantastic achievement for Daniella who received her Hertfordshire vest and hoodie immediately after – please see picture above.

The girls were – as always – a credit to the school and to the PE department throughout the event.

Well done everyone!

Miss Cameron
