KING’S Girls’ Division athletes have qualified for the regional athletics finals for the 20th successive year.

The King’s team of 12 athletes from Years 7 and 8 competed in 24 events, each competitor performing in two events. The placings were converted to points and added up to give a team score. Several of the King’s gained personal bests and scored highly with captain Isobel Moores and Claudia Rodrigez Martinez the top scorers.

Isobel Moores said: “We are a team, no stars, no individuals but a team who support each other and enjoy working hard together.”

King’s Girls’ Division Physical Education teacher Lisa Booker who coaches the team, said: “The girls have a winning combination of talent and determination and have worked hard to win.

“With every passing year the girls become even more determined to maintain the school’s winning streak.”
