The UKS2 inter-school athletics crown was retained once again by the children of Wybers Wood, after a pulsating three-hour slog against five quality local schools.

The team, who had been training for the finals since November, rain out winners -beating their second placed opponents by just two points!

With time running out Wybers needed a positive result in the 4x100m finals. The boys finished second which put the squad one point behind the leaders with one race to go – the girls 4x100m!

Leyla, Daisy, Kaila and Maisie were ready for the challenge and it was the race of the day. With two lengths left to run, it came to Maisie, who slipped as she kicked the board.

The baton fell from her hand and after two bounces, she regained control and pushed on to achieve second (a lesson in never giving up). With their rivals finishing third, Wybers retained their crown for another year. Up the Wybers!
