We are delighted to report on the fantastic performances of our Risedale athletes at the Area Athletics competition which took place on Friday 16th May. Our pupils demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and a true Risedale spirit throughout the day.

Congratulations to Rio Regan (9Sandell) on achieving an impressive second-place finish in the 800m. Lucas Kirk (10Dunphy) stole the show, securing first-place victories in both the 100m and 200m races! Jay-Ron Browne (9Dickson) also displayed incredible speed, grabbing second place in the 100m and claiming the top spot in the 200m.

A special shout-out goes to Corey Hilman (8Allen) who competed against Year 9 athletes in the 100m race. Despite the age difference, Corey gave a really powerful performance, showcasing his dedication and potential. Nathanael Hall (10Hill) impressed with his versatility, achieving strong results in both the high jump and long jump, including a well-deserved third-place finish in the high jump.

Teacher of Science, Mr Allen, who accompanied the pupils to the competition, said: “I am incredibly proud of all our athletes who participated in the Area Athletics competition. Their hard work, sportsmanship, and unwavering school spirit were truly inspiring. Well done #TeamRisedale!”
