Athletes do CHS Proud
George
Johnson, Harper Whitehead, Josh Robertson, Jonathan Adderley, Beth Jones and
Cara Cooper all did Congleton High School proud last Saturday (13th
June), when they competed in the Cheshire County Schools’ Championships in
Warrington.
Despite all
of the six CHS athletes performing brilliantly, there were standout
performances for Josh Robertson, Jonathan Adderley and Beth Jones, whose
performances earned them a chance to represent Cheshire in the Mason Trophy
Inter Counties Schools’ Championships in Birmingham this Saturday.
Josh
Robertson not only became Cheshire champion in the javelin for the second
successive year but he also recorded his personal best in the discipline with a
throw of 40.32m. He has added an extra seven and a half metres to the distance
when he won the event last year (32.76m) and Josh will now be looking to throw
even further on Saturday. Josh is ranked in the top-20 in the UK for his age
group in javelin this year.
Jonathan
Adderley was also crowned Cheshire champion in the discus with a personal best
of 39.33m (eight and a half metres further then second place) and he will now represent Cheshire in the Mason Trophy. On the track, Beth Jones will join Josh and Jonathan in Birmingham on Saturday after finishing 2nd in the girls 100m. Beth won her heat in a time of 13.3 seconds and finished 2nd in the final with a time of 13.2 seconds.
George Johnson finished 2nd in his 100m heat with a time of 12.6 seconds, despite running quicker in the final, he finished 6th. This is still an incredible achievement to finish 6th in the whole of Cheshire.
Harper
Whitehead also had a top-10 finish on the track, finishing 9th in
the 1,500m, with a personal best time of 4:48.5 minutes. Harper did very well
considering he was competing against national athletes.
Year 8
student, Cara Cooper also competed in the javelin and finished 5th.
Well done to
all of the athletes and good luck to Josh, Jonny and Beth in Birmingham on
Saturday.
