On Wednesday 9th November, forty pupils from TIFS attended The Isle of Wight Schools Cross Country Relays, which were held at Medina College. Girls and boys from each year group were split into teams of four, with each pupil running a 1km lap against other Island secondary schools.
In sunny conditions, but with a brisk, chilly wind, the Year 7 girls were first to run. They performed superbly with the A Team finishing in 2nd place. Subsequently the Year 7 boys performed equally well, and the A team finished in a fantastic 3rd place.
Not to be outdone, the Year 8 girls’ and boys’ A teams both picked up 2nd place in their respective races. The afternoon was topped off by another 2nd place for the Year 9 boys, and finally a memorable 1st place victory for the Year 9 girls’ team of Mia B, Kara H, Ella W and Maisie W.
All the runners put in a tremendous amount of effort, and to see TIFS finish in the top three in every category was a marvellous achievement. Well done to all who took part!
