National biathlon champion
Darcy G, Year 11, travelled to Redditch to take part in the National School Biathlon Championships. The event consisted of a 1600m run and a 200m swim. She posted impressive times of 5 minutes 19 seconds for the run and 2 mins 13 seconds for the swim to win the competition. Even more impressive was that this was a repeat of her result last year. Well done, Darcy!
