On a bright but freezing King George V playing fields in Huyton, All Saints claimed The coveted Year 7 Boys and Girls cross country championship prizes. The girls team were very strong and boasted 15 members. Star of the meet was Georgia Marlow who obliterated the field with sensible pace setting and then turned on the after burners to power her way to victory. Nicola Stuart wasn't too far away in 4th position. This latest success for the Year 7 girls, means that All Saints girls are the force to be reckoned with when it comes to school sport.
The Year 7 lads team were all close to each other in their final standing places. Best placed was John Swift who finished in 3rd place. Jordan Short was superb throughout. He gave every once of energy he had to gain himself a top 6 finish. The boys have also had a successful start to their sporting life at All Saints and look capable of adding more silverware as the year develops. All the other year groups who took part were a credit to the school. Leon Lewis won the Yr 8 & 9 event. He timed his finish to perfection and comfortably claimed first prize. Year 10 pupil Steven Franklin should also feel very proud of a second place finish in the Yr 10 & 11 competition. He was beaten by a Year 11 pupil who raced for England. Steven will be a huge favourite for the top honour next year.
