YEAR 9 INDOOR ROWING- 26th February

Indoor Rowing Success

Students from Congleton, Sandbach, Middlwich and Alsager High School
in action in the SSP Rowing Competition.

CHS’ PE department have gradually been broadening and extending the number of sports in which students can participate. One sport which has been made available for students to try is indoor rowing.

Last year CHS took three of its indoor rowing teams to Chester University to take part in the Level 3 School Games competition, with Hollie Massey winning gold and Johnny Adderely winning bronze. In the team events, the year 9 girls finished in 4^th place, year 9 boys in 2^nd and the year 10 boys in 3^rd.

Tonight the year 9 girls and boys teams qualified for this year’s level 3 school games after great performances in the Sandbach School Partnership round. The teams beat teams from Sandbach, Middlewich and Alsager.

During lunchtimes students have been battling it out in a “row off” to qualify for spots on the team. The picture below shows year 9 students, George and Hugh going head-to-head for the final spot in the boys’ team.
